Condolence: Diane, Vince and Jenny-Thinking of all of you on the upcoming anniversary of Mike’s passing on October 14, of last year. The condolence tribute you wrote for him is beautiful Diane. Love, Colleen

Condolence: Although its almost been one year,it still feels like yesterday when you died and our world was shattered. We miss you everyday,you are in our minds and hearts always. We are so proud of all that you accomplished,working two jobs while trying to fulfill your dream. There were not enough hours in the day for your busy mind. You inspired others through art,creativity,music, and writing.Your life cut too short to fulfill your big dreams of opening your own store and designing websites for others.We know that through your sheer guts and courage and ability to step out of the crowd you would of went forward and conquered your powerful dream. We mourn for all the extraordinary things you did,and all the thing you wont get to do,including a trip to Japan, revisiting the Grand Canyon that you loved as a little boy. We Mourn for Jenny that her only Big Brother who brought her so much happiness through his kindness patience,and understanding,will not be able to play the drums or guitar for her anymore, that we wont see the way she lit up when you came home. Knowing you and only you,can never be replaced. We would give anything to have you back,we cherish all the memories felt in our home and your items that remind us of your enthusiasm towards your future. We mourn that we have lost the chance to see your dreams come true,and support and help you in anyway you needed. You were the Joy,love and light of our lives, our world. However we take comfort and pride that even through your obstacles and fears, you always had the character to touch peoples lives, through your compassion independence and above all LOVE, all who knew you were lucky Sadly you are gone too soon your voice, laugh, smile and zest for life,we cant hug you,touch you or hear your sweet warm voice.But we will always be connected its hard to describe it cant be destroyed it cant be denied , though you are gone, and not here, I will always have a lifeline to you, no one can see it pulls at my heart, I'm bruised.....I am sore, But we shared a Cord that is my lifeline , I am thankful that connects us this way, a mother and child Death can't take it away. Until we meet again, Mom

Condolence: I'm not sure if anyone will see this but I'm sorry for not commenting sooner..Mike was hands down the most inspiring person in my life. In 26 years on this planet I've never gotten to know someone so intelligent and creative. He was truly an innovator, and his way of thinking revolutionized my approach to living along with many others. As a friend, he was always there for me when I was struggling mentally, and he always knew what to say to put me back in a positive mindset. His views on Spirituality and the bigger picture have me knowing he would want everyone to pursue happiness at all costs and to live freely and without fear I miss him everyday but his energy still is with me, as every fear I face, I think of him, he is with me to give me the energy I need to carry on. Much love to any family or friends who see this.

Condolence: Growing up, Michael Allevato was my best friend, who could relate to me in ways few people could. Life will not be as fun without him around, and he will be greatly missed.

Condolence: Vince, Diane, and Jennifer. My words will never be enough to express the sorrow I feel for the loss of Michael. But I hope you can take some comfort from knowing I’m thinking of and there for you, always. I cannot imagine there is a pain more deep and terrible than losing a son. My heart, soul, and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. I send my love and heartfelt prayers that you may find the strength you need to get through each day. Michaels love and your love for him will never go away. He will walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near and in our hearts forever. Love forever, Lou

Condolence: Dear family Allevato, I am very sorry for the passing of Michael Vincent Allevato. I just wanted to share a very helpful text from the Bible in John 5:28-29 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement.” This text reassured you that you will be able to see Michael again.

Condolence: Dearest Michael- you have meant so much to your family. We can never be the same without you in our lives. The pain is unbearable. To know you was to know a innocent soul that knew the possibilities of human potential. The kindness of your heart was apparent from the day you entered our world. Our family will be forever altered in the absence of your insights, intelligence, kindness and love. We will celebrate you in love on your birthday this October 22nd and never lose you in our hearts or thoughts. My heart is broken..... All My Love, Aunt Colleen

Condolence: My condolences to the Allevato families. I'm sorry to hear about the untimely loss of dear Michael. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering.
