Mike Payne was my Friend and the best Brother in law I could ever ask for. I always said I couldn´t have picked a better husband for my sister. I love you Mike and I am going to miss everything about you. God picked the best when he called you home. My heart is broken. Rest in Paradise and Fly High with the Angels. Until we meet again.
