The laughter shared between mike and I has been so priceless and valuable and so intense. I´ve shared the story multiple times every single year multiple times with multiple people. He´s the best we had the best times ever selling life insurance.

It was almost 17 years ago when I met the wonderful Hester's. Mike was always encouraging, supportive, and giving. He had a love for music and I always remember hearing some Frankie Beverly & Maze. Mike could always make you laugh & smile. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. You will be missed but your memory and legacy will live on. May his family find comfort and peace in God's arm & know that his spirit lives with you forever.
With a loving heart,
