Many prayers for Mike and all of your family. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten and will always be by your side. I hope Mike knows how much it meant when he came to my sisters funeral. You will be missed but when I look at the night sky I will think about this saying I heard once.
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy.

Jackson family,
I am very saddened to hear about Mike's passing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time. He and Buddy had great times together for many years. He spoke often of his respect for Mr. Jackson and I know that he loved Jeff and Mike like the brothers he never had. Sincerely, Nina Dennard
