Tracey, You do not know me but I went to high school with Mike and I want you to know that you and your family will be in my prayers. I didn't know that Mike was sick but I have to say my husband and I were just recently saying that we had missed seeing you guys at the football games. I pray that God will be with you during this time. Just put your trust in Him and He will always be there for you. Be strong and just know that Love never dies. Mike will always be with you in spirit.
