You are soo right Sicilian Babe!!!! He lied to the man upstairs, and that is the wrong thing to do. Michael always thought he was smarter than everybody, but he got careless...."Women and children can be careless, men cannot." And he found that out the hard way. I think that it also shows that he could never get away from the horrible things he did in his life.....sure he went legit, and turned the keys over to Vincent.....but just like Carlo Rizzi in GF2.......he had to answer for Sonny, Mikey had to answer for Fredo......and there was only one person who could punish Mike......the man upstairs, took his most prize possesion from him.....lil Mary.
