Mike and I went to Las Vegas to watch a boxing match that was on pay per view at the MGM. That was the best time of my life. He was my best friend and I am just speechless. I still want to call his phone and hope that he picks it up. He is in a better place and I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family because I know your pain. He was family to me also.
