Laurie, my heart hurts for you at this time. I remember meeting Mike at our "annual"steak dinner at Cattlemens he visited with everyone. It was hard to tell if he knew them or if the were strangers. But at the end of the night they were friends. I am so thankful I got to meet him because it was obvious how much you both cared for each other. I am so sorry for your lost you BFF. May God's peace
be with my friend. Jody
