Mrs. Fenton, Olivia and Andrew,
I worked with Mike from the Tenneco days through the El Paso days. Mike was absolutely one of my best friends. He was so brilliant and made a huge impact on the lives of the administrative personnel. Could he ever make us laugh. I have so many good memories of Mike - he was a good friend, his smile could light up a room, his ideas and his opinions were valued. When Beanie Babies were popular - we had a meeting in Enfield and Mike drove me and Teri and Laura all over the place so we could fine these treasures for our daughters. Olivia and Andrew, he was so proud of you two - always keep the loving memories in your heart. He will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry for your loss, loosing a loved one is truly a heartbreaking experience, but its uplifting to know that God promises us in Isaiah 65:17 a near future in which not only wont we feel the pain of loosing a loved one anymore but we wont even remember how it felt. Our pain will be erased and we will be happy once again.
