Mike: on the day we celebrated Fred's passing into heaven, you touched my heart when you decided to visit the campers in the woods. It was an honor to get to know you, and see you (that same day) walk the same dirt camp paths your brother Fred had walked. Today, you both walk in the 'camps' of heaven together.

Mike your presense lingers still, I know I will pack for three others, Dad, Fred and You now when I go fishing. I already take the gear. I just close my eyes and I see all three of you on the water. I know your scouting all the best fishing holes already. Rest at peace and save a seat for me on the boat.
