We would like to personally thank Tyler Dunne and the staff at the Cardinal Courier for the beautiful articles about our son's journey through his illness, his Make-A Wish trip at the University of Notre Dame, the dedication of the basketball season by the Women's basketball team.

Ashley has been able to get through her junior year with the wonderful support of the St. John Fisher student body, the faculty, the athletic department, her teammates, and the coaching staff.

As a family, we all struggle daily with the loss of our most precious child, but we also are so grateful for the many people who have showed us kindness during Michael's illness and in his passing.

Thanks to all for all your caring and concern. The staff of the Courier is to be commended for their genuine and professional journalism.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The family of Michael Napoleone
