Michael,
I was going to call your parents but I have not decided yet. I know this will not be the end and I think there will be retaliation.
God Bless. Kathleen.

Hey, Michael,

I just spent another long weekend with Bobby at my Mom's. We ran here, there, and everywhere. We got Walter from college. We went Halloween costume shopping with Michelle and Bobby. My mom is district president for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. We went to her party. I saw my Dad and his family. Bobby is moving in in 2 weeks. Walter put up a picture of you and him and Michelle. I cannot believe that it was so long ago that we were out there. I think of you every day and miss you. I'll talk to you again soon.

Michael,
I cannot believe another year has passed. I am watching the ceremony right now, I have watched it every year. I have never been to ground zero. I can't bring myself to go there, just as I have not gotten on a plane since 9/11/01.
Michael, continue to watch over everyone.
Kathleen

Wow Mike, how the time has traveled to where we are now in life. There isn't a moment in my life or days that you aren't there, all the great times and the sad, but you will always be a incredible friend that I loved like a lil brother. I miss you man.

*** Posted by JAMES LYNCH on 2010-09-10 ***

Rest in peace, my friend. I think of you often, and you will always be in my prayers.

Hi Mike: I'm from Middle Village and I now live in NC. We didn't know each other but I visit my stepson each year and he lives down the block from you. I see your pic in the window and always thank God for your life while here on earth. By all of the above comments, you must know how truly loved you are. I'll always remember you throughout the years and I promise YOU that "I'LL NEVER FORGET"!
Say hi to my mom and dad for me. You'll love them.
Love,
Jannie

Hey, Michael,

Nolan Wilhelm Lawetzki was born on Father's day. Jon said that was good 'cause he was trying to pick between two presents, and now he gets them both, one from each kid. He is so adorable. Walter calls him Ty 2 D2 cause he looks like a mini Ty. He has red hair right now and blue eyes. Bobby did come out to meet the family. Oh, the fun of that. We took Ty miniature golfing. Micheele leaves for cheer camp Thursday with my Mom coming along to watch the girls. I went to Bobby's for the 4th of July, hung out with his family, and grilled and watched fireworks. We miss you every day.... Talk to you again soon.

Hey Cuz,

There's lots going on. I'm on vacation visiting the family. It's nice to get out of Vegas for a while. Walter graduated Wednesday. He had so many honors and awards and such. I am so proud of him. He decided to go to UCI and live on campus. Jon just started school to be a middle school teacher. I went with Christine to her ultrasound, and everything looks good with Nolan. I got to keep the picture. I go home to work this weekend, but I finish my vacation next week. Michelle is coming out with me and bringing a friend. Bobby is coming out to meet the family, hopefully Thursday. He gets to meet the whole family for Walter's graduation party on the 28th. Well, I'm gonna get packed to go home. Talk to you soon.

Love,
Lynn

Hey Michael,

You know me. I still don't have a computer and am still writing letters and such by snail mail, so I just found this site. You are in my thoughts a lot. Since 9-11 I have thought about that summer we came out. I remember the ride in your cherished car, the late night Twinkie run for Jon, and the way Walter used to get irritated with you 'cause he thought you were calling him "water." To this day he remembers your accent, and Jon, well, he still loves Twinkies. I was reading a book a while ago. You were mentioned in it. She knew you from your first job and talked on and on about your charm, especially with the ladies. I so had to laugh. I think it was God's way of helping me with the whys I'm sure everyone still has. I got married and divorced. I'm now dating a wonderful man, Bobby. Jon got married and is expecting his second son any day. Walter graduates in June, and Michelle will be a sophmore. It's funny how I pull out your graduation picture and memories fled my thoughts. I see the basketball game we played and how auntie yelled at the pizza man in Italian when he delivered burnt pizza. That summer was the best ever, and I will forever cherish those memories. I miss you so much. I will say "hi" now and again.

love,
lynnette

I only knew you a short while, and only in passing, but the impact of your wonderful character will always stay with me and I'm sure with many others as well. I got to know your mom in the last few years and watched her love for you inspire a great determination to honor you as well as many others from our area. She is a wonderful woman with a smile as bright as yours and a heart of love and kindness.... She recently came to see me get married, which is what finally brought me here, to this site. I was writing out a card to thank her ... for seeing me off in church ... but really I wanted to thank you, also. Knowing her and speaking with her and, yes, even getting our nails done together : ) a few times and making new friends and neighbors because of her is something to be thankful for. I also came to know her in passing on that very same walk home. What a gift to know such wonderful people, even if just in some small way. I lost another friend as well in all this ... someone I knew much longer.... It is a comfort in some ways knowing you are an angel watching over us on earth and in heaven.... I will always honor your life and remember you with a smile.

I remember always walking 78th ave from the 29 bus. As I came home from work, Mike was in front of the garage always doing something to his car. (That's what I remember most.) Most times at first I walked past without a word. Often he always extended a "hello" or "hi, how are ya?"—not just to me, but to anyone who passed. There was always a welcome smile. I admired this in him, as I'm like that myself and spent a lot of time talking to neighbors and giving a smile and spreading some joy. He just had a certain spirit. I got to know him a little better over a few years and thought the world of him. Sometimes I would stop and talk for a minute.... I could come home after all my travels and be frustrated from a bad day at work and then ... Mike would be there. A few inspiring words and a smile, and there would be a spring in my step. He was a very caring person. I'm a big believer in little things making all the difference in the world, and those few little moments each day sometimes made all the difference for me. People would laugh at me if I got stuck for an hour talking to a neighbor as I passed by (mostly they were kind elderly people), and I could tell you most of the time Mike knew who they were. It told me a lot about Mike, how he was the kind of person who cared enough to know. If nothing else, Mike, I'm honored to have known you, honored to have the pleasure of knowing your mother, and honored to say with confidence and strength and faith that YOU MADE A DIFFRENCE IN THIS WORLD!

Happy birthday, Michael.

My dearest Michael,

Here I am again, thinking of you. Baby Bobby was christened this past Sunday, February 7th, Super Bowl Sunday. How fitting. Football! I still remember how you and Bobby first met: I was there in the back of SFP talking to a mom and dad and really enjoying their company, and down walked the potential freshman football team. The mom said, "Oh, look! Michael made a friend!" And he did: my son, Bobby. A life-long friend. Someone who was going to be in our lives till the end. 9-11 made that end early, but just know that every christening, every wedding, every communion, every confirmation, and every birthday you are there. Maybe not physically, but you are there in spirit, and we all feel your presence. God bless baby Bobby at his christening, and he blessed us all with your presence. We will keep you with us until eternity.

Love Always,
Carol (Momma) Laino

Michael,

9/11/01 seems like yesterday. I can't believe it has been eight years. I remember the day you were born and how happy everyone was. I hope you are at peace and watching over your family and friends.

God bless you, 
Kathleen
