Mike, You and Barbara welcomed me into Christ and the Bridge Christian Church. We had many laughs together and I always enjoyed our men's lunches at Park Place Mall. You were always thoughtful and kind and a great friend indeed. My world became larger and brighter in knowing you. I know you have had a long and hard battle, while it may have beat you, but now you are in the ultimate place we all hope to be living out eternity with God. Farewell, for now, my good friend and to the future when we meet again.
