Shirley, Jen, and the rest of the family, I know there is little that can comfort you at this time, but know that you are never alone. This is something that we all must endure, and God will give you the strength you need to move forward. My prayers are with you and know that God is there for you at all times. Mike was friends with many and will be missed. May God bless each of you and strengthen you with each passing day. Love to all.
