Had some fun way back in the day didn't we. Good & Bad, little bit of both. Times were a little tough in the neighborhood. You were a good person Mike. Happy to call you a Friend. I was just talking to Ron about some of the good times the other night at dinner. Sorry you're gone. Would be nice to sit and talk now that we matured a bit, I think. Say Hi to Rick for me. See you down the road.

Watched you grow up and go through so many experiences, some good, and some difficult, but always with a sparkle in your eye looking forward. You have finally come to a place where you will be at peace. Thank you for your friendship in this life; see you in the next. Doug

The love we shared was truly special. I will remember you always. I can't believe it was just last month we were together laughing and chasing each other around the room like kids.....you were the best, and will stay in my heart. Until we are together again,

I Grieve!!
You are the love of my life! Even though we were apart, my love for you never lessened or weakened. Our time together was unfinished-we had just spoken of my coming up in the summer and how much we still cared for each other. I shall miss and love you all the days of my life. Your Wife.

Baby, you taught me to love and we had no clue how to either. You taught me to keep our home safe and comfortable. Babe, you gave me life. I can't go any further than this. This life you showed me how to live is my first.
