THE WALL OF FACES

I was Five when Mike left for Vietnam he had just married my oldest sister Patricia Keeney six weeks before he was killed. He layed in bed with me and watched War if the worlds with
Me . I still remember him walking down the hallway of our home in Gainesville Fl. He turned and said sorry I’m going to miss your birthday which was March 13 . He was a Marine through and the. RIP Mike I hope you and Patricia are together now .❤️

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Teresa is moving and reflects her enduring love for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

I am your youngest sister Teresa. I miss you every day and I pray that you are doing good up in heaven with all our loved ones who have joined you. Michael, you taught me to never be afraid to stand for right in all things. It's been amazing to read all the lives you touched while you were here. I love you brother

Mike, I hope you know I visit your grave each year I go back to NY. Last time (before Covid) I saw your wife Patty was buried alongside you along with your Mom and Dad who I remember so fondly. You and Patty stood up for us in the small chapel in Washington, D.C. when Lin and I were married in June 1967. How could we have known that Patty would be a widow in less than a year. I will never forget you. Semper Fi my friend.

I met Michael in July 1966 when he was stationed in Virginia. We became very good friends and spent time together whenever we could. He loved where I lived; he said the mountains reminded him of home. I had the pleasure of visiting his home and meeting his family that year at thanksgiving. It is a wonderful memory I will always treasure. His family was just like him, down to earth and made you feel so comfortable. All of my memories of Michael will forever be with me.
