I met Mike and Barb through my wife, Tracy Thompson Delgado. While we didn´t share lots of time together, the time we did share taught me of the kindness and love in his heart. Mike was a special person, the world needs more beautiful souls like his. I´m thankful to have known him and am certain he has a special place w the Lord. My heart is w Barb, Alan and the family. May memories of Mike always bring you a warm smile knowing your life included living w one of the Lord´s finest.
