His family waited nearly two years for the call: We've found a part of Michael.
But they never found any of him at all.
Instead of remains, the Ragusas will bury a vial of Michael's blood, which he had donated to a bone marrow center. A coffin containing the blood will be lowered into the ground at Staten Island's Resurrection Cemetery, next to where his friend and fellow 9/11 victim, Firefighter Carl Molinaro, is buried.
His funeral is the last of the 343 that needed to be held for NYC firefighters killed on September 11.
