Not sure what to say?

My Mikey, since 1983 ( on this day) when we first met, you have called me on my birthday and this year no call. I am devasted with the news. Selfish me. My heart aches but know God has you.
Always my love❣

You were my mentor at work & my very best friend of 32yrs.. I already miss talking to you. You love will surround everyone always & everywhere. God only takes the BEST. In the end, it's not years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Michael will surely be missed! I remember him with such affection! Your whole family was so special to us! Love you all and our prayers will be with you!

Mikey, you were to sweetest man. I'm so sad that you were taken too soon. You gave the best hugs and I loved smelling your cigars. Thanks for your kindness, my dear.

Mike you will be so very much missed by so many, you were a kind soul that knew how to turn a bad time good. I sit back and think of all the good times we had, from bike weeks to cruises, to annual vacations, and all those holiday meals we spent together. You were a huge part of my life for a long time and for that I feel so blessed. You will always be my brother! Miss and Love you brother ~ Fly High.....

Dear Eric, Sharron and family, We are so sorry to hear of your dear brothers passing. Wish we were down there to give you all big hugs. You are in our prayers to heal and think of the good times with your brother Michael. Love, Sheila (MOM) and John Brown
