My thoughts were what a good looking and nice young man. I am so sorry, so very sorry for your loss Kristin. Lee and I both send our condolences, our love, and our prayers.

Michael held a very special spot in my heart. I admired him for his courage, his quiet and gentle demeanor, and most especially for his duty to our country. I will miss him and remember him always with respect and love.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the Russo family. Mike, I haven’t seen you in years, but I never stopped praying for you. I am glad you are no longer suffering and that you are in a better place now. God will take good care of you.
Russo Family, I saddened to hear of your loss. I knew Michael growing up in High Bridge, NJ. Michael was good friends with my cousin Greg Schwartz. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Robin & Eddie Bizub
