Jamie, It's been a long time since we've seen each other. It's too bad a family reunion never got off the ground. I'm sorry to hear about Mike. I remember meeting him way back when. Actually we might have actually come to your wedding. I would have been 16 then, so it's possible. My husband, daughter and I are saying prayers for you and your family. I had no idea your family was so large. You see, we really do need a family reunion! Anyway, I am sure they will be a great comfort to have around you in the days and weeks to come. Blessings, your cousin,

Mike was a very good friend of mine at the college. We would talk for hours on how the other building engineers would open their buildings. He told me he liked to open the doors by foot instead of using his vehicle, He told me that he needed a bike like I had to get around to the buildings when he was running late. He was a very nice man , always had time to say hi and laugh at a joke . He will be missed greatly at SIU . he' s now with his Lord and Savior. God be with you in your time of sorrow and pain.
