A great brother and good friend. Mazzaro’s will never be quite the same.
Hello MJ,
I just received an email from Sean. I am so sorry for your loss. Michael was just starting the next phase of his life and has been taken too soon!
So Sorry to hear of your Dad’s untimely death. I was so looking forward to meeting up with you both in Miami Beach. May you experience the consolation, grace and strenth of God’s enduring love. I will be having a Mass said for the repose of his Soul at my Church. May your wonderful memories sustain you in this time of great loss. Your loving 2nd cousin, Patsy
What I love and will remember most about Uncle Michael was his passion for learning (and sharing his knowledge), his service to others, and the devotion and pride he felt as a father. Whenever he spoke about M.J. he lit up the room. Our family will miss him so much.
Hello MJ, I just read an email from your Uncle Sean about the passing of your father. I am so sorry and will have a Mass said in his memory.
Your cousin, Barbara
So very sorry for your loss. I know how much he loved his family and how proud he was of all of you.
Michael John,
I understand how you may be feeling now and the only thing that worked for me is to always remember the happy moments. Use the sad ones to know that you are now stronger than before.
Big hug!

I was shocked to hear of your loss. I am so sorry. He was a fighter for unborn babies and I know he will be rewarded in heaven for all his good works.
THe world has lost a great champion for the Truth. He has surely claimed his crown in heaven for being the brave fighter that he was for all that is right and good. He finished the race with a “well done good and faithful servant”. He will be missed.

Michael came to help us and has returned to his home with our Lord. We will miss his courage and devotion to helping so many of us see the way. Michael touched our hearts with his enthusiasm and his goodness. We will always carry fond memories with us and keep Michael and all of his family and friends in our prayers. May he find peace as he returns to his place in heaven beside our Lord. With many blessings, John and Betsi.
Your father will be sorely missed but God has him now and he’s free of pain and having the time of his life in heaven. He’s looking down on his family and knows all will be well with you.
Michael was a fearless Catholic warrior for prolife causes, for liturgical orthodoxy and for the truth in general. Being around him was always a treat and never dull. The world has lost a great champion. We will be saying lots of Masses for the repose of your soul. Rest in peace, soldier of truth. Jan and Barbara Fredericks
I knew the family from Jackson Heights, NY. I was friends with his sister, Mary Alice Corrigan. Tried to find Mary Alice but with no success.
Sorry to hear about Michael.
