Recently we asked for your prayers for the recovery of  Nicole's friend, Michael, from the hospital. 
We are truly distraught by the news of Michael's death.   Michael Romano passed away at last week while at the hospital.   
(Michael seen above left with is brother Frank)

Michael, had been battling Neuro Blastoma for seven years.   He had undergone 2 stem cell transplants, and endless treatments.  He had been "one brave soldier" in his  war against his cancer. Michael had been hospitalized for weeks with no white blood counts.  His body defenseless, he finally succumbed to an infection.

Michael was a sweet, gentle boy.  We loved Michael and will all miss him very much.
