We
met Michael many years ago when he was working at LA Mattress in Corona, CA.
That guy could sell anybody anything! He just had a way about him that drew you
in! After we purchased mattresses from Michael we developed a friendship that
was truly wonderful. We always helped each other and Michael would come to our
house for family holiday dinners and was always so appreciative for the invitation
and to be with us. In years past as Michael's eye sight worsened, we would pick
him up to bring him to our house since he could no longer drive but he never
let that get him down. He was a real trooper! Michael became friends with our
friends and everybody loved him and oh yes, in his capacity as a relationship
advisor he gave advice to one of our mutual friends whom to this day is in a
happy relationship that came about from Michael's help. Our hearts are very sad
and feeling the pain but we are so blessed to have known Michael and been a
part of his life and he of ours. We love you and will miss you Michael
forever...may you rest in peace. Nancy Sharkey Lori Pereira
