Gloria and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your great loss. Our deepest condolences to you at this very sad time.
You are thought of often.
Sincerely,
Kali and Frank Adam
My deepest heartfelt condolences for your loss. I was Mikes partner working at ogden shops for many years as we were hired the same day. We also worked on railing and window bar projects and his kind and even manner made the days easier to pass.
To all the Deehan Family.
Distance & time has meant that I haven’t got to know some of you but the feeling is the same.
I feel sorry for your loss – and your pain – and am thinking about you.
To The Family of Michael,
I, Carol grew up just down the road from the Deehan family. Michael babysat my brother Paul(Tom) before I was born. Michael’s Mom and my Mom Helen were best of friends and went shopping together. I remember Mrs. Deehan, Rita when she died the year after my Dad died. Rita has been such a support to my Mom. In my second year of nursing school Sonya, Micheal’s girl friend and I were going to start working at Hutzel hospital together in Detroit. Sadly her and her sister died from an automobile accident not long before our graduation. I remember Micheal beside Sonya’s casket looking so sad. I didn’t know he had moved out West and married. I’m sure he had a great life out there. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to you, his wife and family and to all his brothers and sister Sal back home here. May the Lord help to comfort you in the weeks and months to come especially right before this Christmas season. God bless you all. For reasons we don’t know the Lord wrapped his arms around Michael and said, ‘It is time for you to come home with me,son’ Again with heartfelt sympathy, Ken & Carol Masse
