I remember babysitting the Fallon clan a LONG time ago. Michael was always keeping me on my toes. He was alwyas jumping in the pool when he wasn’t supposed to and jumping on the beds. He had a great spirit about him and loved to always have fun. I have not seen him since those days, but I will always remember his sparkling eyes, his contagious laugh and his free spirit.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow. I am sure that Michael is making the angels laugh and dance. May he rest in peace.

To Mr. and Mrs. Fallon, Kathleen, Erin and Brendan:
I will never forget how kind all of you, including Michael, have been to me over the past few years. Michael was inquisitve and warm, like when he began to question how I, as a writer, procured DVDs before stores had them. I will miss him, and I feel privileged to have known him and the Fallon family. My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Fallon Family,
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
With deepest sympathy, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Amber
