Samantha A O’Laker Relation to Deceased: cousin One of my fondest memory of Micheal was when he had me laughing for hours at Faneuil Hall in Boston Ma. about 6 yrs ago He bought a dollar snatcher at the joke store you know the toy where you hook the dollar bill to fishing string put it on the ground and when someone goes to pick it up you snatch it back! If I had to bet; nobody to this day has ever gotten more use and laughter out of that particular item.We played with it for hours. It was him… not the dollar snatcher that was responsable for the tears created by the laughter.I will never forget that day and the laughter we shared together with his mother Donna. Love and Laughter forever. Love always, Samantha O The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.
