I remember "Mike" and Jim well. I got the privilege to work with Mike at Porter Paint. She was always a delight to be around with a great sense of humor. I loved listening to her stories about dancing and the personalities she'd meet. Jim would tell the best "bad jokes" and stories about life on the road selling S&H Green Stamps! Mike was always professional , caring, and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
