Michael Boldon was remembered Wednesday as a big brother and “an angel” at a memorial for the cabbie killed in a fiery crash when a Maserati involved in a rolling shooting on the Las Vegas Strip slammed into his taxi. “Michael is my big brother.

My heart goes out to this man's family and the unfortunate loss they are now going through...

My heart also goes out to the family of the 2-time breast Cancer survivor, Sandi Sutton.

May your loved ones rest in peace and may you enjoy the happy memories you have of them.

Good story. I think about that speach father Barry gave in "On the Waterfront"
