I can not find the words to say how truly sad I am to hear that Mike is gone from us. Although I haven't seen him in many years, I thought of him quite often - I wondered just last week about him. I will always remember the fun we had over the summers with him doing a 'drive by' with Louie, and the good times we had at work at Zody's. He was an awesome person! He is in the best place he could be - with the Lord. My heart goes out to all of his family! God will bless you all, and carry you thru this time and heal your hearts. His love and smile will linger always.
