To the Hymes family,

I worked with Michael at Kodak. He was an amazing man and a true reflection of Christ. Though I'm sure you miss him more than words can express he is with his Savior at last. You all are in our prayers.

Mike,
Thanks for all your words of wisdom and encouragement over the years. See you soon buddy! We miss you!
