I remember Michael as a caring, happy, and extremely funny person. We were in the same carpool for many years, so this allowed me to really get to know his wonderful, spontaneous, personality. One thing I always loved about Michael was his Irish accent. I guess this was due to the fact that we were both raised in Irish families. Or maybe, I finally found a friend who could relate to my pale skin, dark hair, and freckles. My heart goes out to the entire Fallon family during this very difficult time. I wish you all peace, and the strength to cope with the loss of Michael. One thing I know for sure, is that Michael left many people precious and lasting memories.
Yours in Christ,
Shelley McGuigan

I first met Michael when I was purchasing your home. He was in his room cleaning out the closet. For all the years after I always felt it was still Michael’s room. Now he is with our precious Lord, happy for eternity.

Bernard, Kathy, Kathleen, Eric and Brendan and your extended families,
My deepest sympathy for your family’s loss. Michael was indeed a special soul. He was one of the most creative, charming kids I ever knew. When I used to babysit for your family all those years ago, Michael had this amazing ability to talk his way into staying up WAY past his bedtime and loved trying to convince me that swimming in the pool should count as his shower. In looking at his picture, I can’t help but recall his lively spirit, clever wit, vibrant personality and engaging smile. I hope you take comfort in your memories of him, in each other, and in knowing that God is now holding Michael in the palm of his hand.
With our love and prayers for your strength and healing,
Wendy Werve and D’Arcy Roper, Matthew, Andrew and Gabriella
