A funny story, Micheal came often to my home to visit my son Andrew Bruno. He was one of Andrew’s best friend and we all grew very fund of him. Michael felt very comfortable in our home, to the point that he would help himself to anything that was in the fridge or pantry. One day he had a bit of the munchies and ate Andrew’s sisters favorite Cosmic brownies, the WHOLE entire brand new box. When Natalie went looking for her favorite brownie’s, she found out that they were gone. Well she threw a fit and made sure Michael knew how upset she was. A few months go by and It is Christmas Day, Micheal shows up at the house with a gift for Natalie. I think to myself, wow that is so sweet of Michael to bring Natalie a gift. She looks at it and opens it hesitantly and we all start cracking up when we see that it is a brand new box of Cosmic Brownie’s. Michael was very quirky and sometimes came across a little rude, but those who knew him well, knew that he was the kindest person and a genuine good friend. He loved his family so much and often spoke about his baby nephew and with so much pride, he would pull out his phone to show us pictures of him. He spoke about his mother and would sometimes feel bad that he would speak to her in not such a nice way while he was recovery from the accident, when all she was trying to do was help him. He would say how sweet she was to drive him to our home from Delray to visit Andrew, he knew she sacrificed a lot for him. He spoke highly and so proudly of his brother Jack and his wife. He was so so happy and proud to finally get to meet his son and he so much wanted to be a great father to him. Then Kacy came into his life, obviously, everyone could tell by the many pictures of each other they posted on social media, that they were a good fit. I lost a bit of contact with Michael after Andrew moved out but I always felt connected to him by viewing his post on facebook. Michael has left a mark on so many peoples life and I am grateful and blessed to have shared so many memorable moments with him. The past two days I have cried many tears, today I can speak about him with a smile on my face as a count not just about the funny moments but of the awesome man Michael was. The Bruno family will miss him but we know that he is at peace and that brings us some form of comfort. To his mother Marcy, please know that Michael loved you so much, it was very evident in the way he spoke to me about you. Please know that I am here for you as I was for him. We love you Michael and will always remember you fondly.
