Mikey was always so nice to me back in the day when we hung out when I was married to Leon. A goofball and always smiling! May the Lord wrap each and every family member and friend in His arms during this sad time. Love to all!

Mikey, thank you for the unforgettable childhood memories. In 9th grade puppy love feels so real, and I was blessed to have had that experience with such an incredibly beautiful person, inside & out. You never changed, even as you got older. Fly high, my forever friend.
To his family, may the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
With love & prayers, Susan (Schneider) Myers
