Linda, I was so sad to read about Mike's passing. I remember all those times you, I, and Audrey had on the South Shore so many years ago. I hope you, Chris, and Tina find peace. May God bless.

Mike,one of the best friends I ever had. We always had a good time even at the post office. I think we had the same sense of humor. You're a great guy and I'll miss you buddy. Rest in peace and see you soon. My love to the family.
