Kathy and I are so very sorry for your loss of Mike. He was just too young and too good a person to be leaving us. We hadn't seen him as much in recent years, but will always remember him as being one of the truly nice guys we've met in our lives. So we'll often be thinking of him, and remembering him and you in our prayers. Jack & Kathy McFadden
