Hey Mike,
I've known you since you married my friend Rita Harper. You where always kind and friendly to me and i'm ever so greatful for that. Alot of memories of you will stay with me especially knowing you as a strong willed person who always strived to give your family the best. Your wife Rita(as crazy as she is, BKA Big Rita by you)was sent a blessing in the name of Michael A. Harper. I will always love you like a brother. Sometimes God has other things he wants us to do. I know it was hard leaving your family, but they'll be okay. Big Rita is strong and you know I'll be there for her. I never got to go fishing with you and Rita,but I'll see you on the other side my brother where we will.
