Reflections for Police Officer Michael Anthony Ceriale

Mike, you are always in my prayers. You are in heaven with your dad, Tony, looking down on all Officers working the streets. The short time you were a proud member of the Chicago Police Department, you exhibited courage and exceptional skills reflecting what everybody refers to as the REAL POLICE. You fit that role to the T and did more good in your short life, then some people do in a lifetime. God bless you Mike, till we meet again.

Lil' mike, I was only 8 years old when you took off on your journey - I'm 21 now. You have made the biggest impact on my life. I think about you daily and still imagine how different life would be if you were here. I miss you so much. My Mom and I were watching home videos of you not too long ago. I like watching them because I still remember your voice. I know you're looking down on all of us and watching over us. I'm so proud to be your cousin and I love to talk about you. Words can't describle how happy and thankful I am to be close w/ Joey - I get to hear crazy stories about you and it makes me smile :)

I love you Lil' Mike - and I know I will see you again, someday. xoxo

Love always,

For some reason I had you in my thoughts all day today Michael. I remember you as always smiling and laughing and of the love that always shown in your Mom's eyes when speaking about you.

Though we didn't know each other very well, know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers often.

You left this world too soon but the impact you made on those around you will live on.

Well, I'm really wishing I could call you right now, I've got this dumb job issue and I'm pretty discouraged. Wish you could fix it.
I'm glad I get to be the first to leave you a message this year, I come here and want to leave you one all the time.
I think about you all the time.
I miss you, you are still my hero.
