Mike, a year already and yet the passage of time has not lessened the shock. Nikki and I often think of you when we chat, laughing at the three of us during times long ago but akways recent to the heart.
Hugs.

Mike,
Thank you for over 40 years of friendship. Neither the distance of time or geography dampened it. I will miss our talks. I will hold your family deep in my thoughts during this difficult time, but trust your vibrant spirit and many warm memories will bring comfort to us all. Hugs.
