To The Entire Ackerman Family:
We are still numb with the fact that Mike is gone. An unbelievably gentle soul, taken from us all way too soon. While I know this last year has been extremely hard on you all, please know that Mike was loved by so many people. Mike never gave up his fight to beat his cancer and he is shining down on us right now letting us know that he is with Anita and his grandparents and is no longer in pain. It was so nice to sit at Jeff/Melissa's house on Friday night and share stories about Mike with his family/friends. He will forever be a shining light in our lives and the memories we have of him will heal us all over time. We love you all.
