Not sure what to say?

Wow, it’s hard to believe that you’ve been gone for almost 11 years. It seems like just yesterday when you told me that you were diagnosed with cancer. There’s not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I love you Mike and I miss you every single day your sis. Datha.

I still sit here at times when I’m having my issues an think I should call you so I could get some advice but then I remember that you’re no longer with us and it pains me even more than what I’m already feeling at that time.

But the love I have for you is to keep.
I've never stopped loving you I'm sure I never will; Deep inside my heart, You are with me still.
My heart still aches as I...

Debbie and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Mike was like an uncle to me. Seeing him so often at my dad's (John Roberts) house. Buying my first car from him at 16. So many memories. He was a great man and will be deeply missed. Rest in paradise Mike. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

My condolences to Mike's family. Mike was a long time friend and he will be missed.

Sarah,

Sorry to hear about your dad. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
