I went to Duncan Memorial UMC with Mike and his family when we were kids and also rode the school bus to Spartanburg High with him. He called my husband, Mike, to give him support regarding his cancer diagnosis. My sympathy to all the family. Please tell Lema how sorry we are.

Dale, I only heard about Mike's passing yesterday and I am so so sorry for your loss. I know you will greatly miss "My Mikey". I remember working with you and Mike at Andrews/Ina and you always referred to him that way...My Mikey. You and he were truly a blessed couple with the love you had for each other. May the Lord comfort you and your family in the days ahead and fill the void with precious memories of Mike. He was a great guy and I loved the both of you!

I wasn't very familiar with the family but I knew mike through Dairy Dream and he was a very supportive customer and always knew how to make us Dairy Dream girls smile. He will be missed and I send my prayers to the family.

Dale, Stephanie, Melissa, and Mrs Foster, I am saddened by the passing of your loved one, Mike. He was a very good man, and had a smile that always managed to light up any room.

My prayers will be with you during the coming days, weeks and months. Dale, you and I once spoke about being Strong Women, and I can't help thinking that we both had the exact same thought and comment on that subject, at the time. I cannot say that I understand how you feel, but rest assured, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Always,
