Kitty and Michelle and Leslie and Jill: I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Great guy and one that had an admirable quality of shooting straight with you. Mike was always honest but kind in talking with you and his love for his wife, and family shown through in all of our discussion we have had. The world is a lesser place without people like Mike. My heart goes out to all of you at this time and I know he will be missed. I am glad I got to know him in his earthly life. I am a better person because of it. God bless you all and I will keep you in my prayers. Dennis Sasser
