She remembers the crime that landed her in the Bastille; on a mission, Nilin remixed the mind of a Memorize commander and made him believe he had killed his girlfriend. Nilin makes her way into Scylla’s office and enters her mind, remixing the memory of a car crash which left her with a bitter taste against the world.

Happy 37th birthday my beautiful son. I know you’re on a mountain today skiing (probably and that makes me smile. I can (and always will hear the excitement in your voice when you’re up there. You are loved & missed so very, very much, but I know I will see you again and what a reunion it will be!!!

Holding you and your brother for the first time is and will always be an indescribable thrill….11:28 am! Thank you for giving me that special day and so many more. God blessed me twice and I’m thankful every single day for being your Mom(s) and giving us SO many great memories to cherish. I love you forever

Sadly, this will be my last entry, but on a positive note, I am beginning to “breathe again” although the pain of his loss is still and will always be present. Mike’s love, memories, words, acts of kindness will always sustain me….and I will always be so very proud of him! He is and will always be in ALL of our hearts FOREVER (esp. during “pumpkin season”… Pumpkin Lattes :)

I am so grateful to Ryan for establishing this website for everyone to visit and keep updated, but most of all, for establishing the Michael T. Foundation. But, since this site hasn’t been visited in quite some time, we decided as a family not continue it.

BUT…I will continue raising awareness to the causes that were near and dear to his heart. Mike dedicated his life to his family, friends, patients and co-workers. I will always respect and honor him for that! Through the Michael T. Foundation, we were able to provide several scholarships to students going into a medical field and also donate to health related organizations that were related to Mike’s career focus. Thank you for supporting us!

As I said when he passed away, I was blessed with TWO great sons (Thank you God) and I now need to focus my energy on the future and look forward to many more happy memories together as a family.

Our new address is:
3605 Cumberland Creek Rd, apt. 203 Raleigh, NC 27613. Please keep in touch.

Love,
The Giunta’s

Our son Ryan recently lost another important person in his life and although it’s hard to understand it all, we will love him through it and look forward to a brighter days ahead.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written and probably nobody reads this, but I just needed to look at pictures and “Remember Mike” (it’s somewhat comforting) but not one day passes that we don’t miss him. As Tom said yesterday, I had another “Mike moment” today when he saw a young man in blue scrubs who looked just like him….cigarette and all :) Our challenge is turning those “sad” times around and somehow finding joy again. We will all cherish those “Mike moments” forever….thanks Mike!

Who knows where life’s path will take us next, but after losing him, seeing some of our loved ones who are currently struggling with health issues and other issues….it has firmly cemented my belief that there is NOTHING more important than family (and of course some “good” friends) to walk along that path with you! So whether you live near or far, cherish each moment, each phone call, each card, each email, each text….anything that keeps you connected to those you love. You can get through anything life throws at you when surrounded by “good” people!

I hope this finds you and your families well and happy. My new email: kgiunta.nc@gmail.com

Love to all,
Kathy

March 28th came and went….and our hearts will truly hurt forever, but at the same time, I know Mike would not want that! His boss said it perfectly “Mike is probably up there saying, ok, what’s all this fuss about”?!? He loved quick and humor, cherished his family and friends, enjoyed his chosen career (although difficult at times) and he lived his life helping others.
As his Mom, I feel so honored to have had the opportunity to share his life journey with him, even though he left us far too soon. We can keep his dream alive!

Please come to Hank’s Ice-cream on Sat. April 19th to honor Mike’s life and to “Remember Mike” by supporting his passion and dedication to helping students going into a Nuclear Medicine Technology or a Medical Research profession. Thank you in advance.

We look forward to sharing this time with all of you and yes, it will be bittersweet, but it’s also a fresh new start for us in a beautiful state…..exciting :)

As the one year anniversary of Michael’s passing approaches, my wish is for everyone to take a moment from your busy lives reflect on him and to always “Remember Mike”. Remember his handsome face and smile, his quick wit and humor, his kindness and giving spirit, his dedication to his patients, family and friends, his willingness to drop everything for anyone in need…the list goes on and on.
He was truly a “gift” to all who knew and loved him. My favorite thing to say to my sons at Christmas, birthdays or any holiday for that matter: “I don’t need gifts, YOU’RE my gift”! God provided us with two beautiful sons and I treasure that “gift” each and every day! Our time with Mike was much shorter than we planned on, but the memories together go way beyond the years and they will stay in my heart and soul forever.
Soon, Tom and I will be moving to NC to start a new chapter in our life’s journey. It’s bittersweet for certain, but at the same time, we are confident that it’s the right decision and we are looking forward to many more wonderful memories ahead.
So “Remember Mike” on March 28th and know that he would not want us to continue in being sad when we think of him, but to carry on as he always did with strength, dignity, humor and kindness to others. Our love to all.

Happy Birthday Mike! I know you of all people would not want us so sad on your birthday but, you are so loved and so missed. Your spirit lives on through all those your life touched-family, friends, those you have helped, the many children who adored their ” Uncle (cousin)Mike.” I was blessed to get to share so much time with you. Much love and peace, my cousin, my dear friend.
