Dear Tamra,Ms Kitty,
The words are not hard because they are true. But it is a hard time to tell them. Mike and Tamra you both have meant so much to me and my family over the past 15+ years. I was one of those fortunates to have met Mike at a very early time in my recovery. It started on March 15,1991 @ 2700 Park Rd. and continues today. I evenually worked with Mike, I went to concets with him and Tamara, my daughter and I white water rafted together with Mike, Tamra and the HH Crew on many occations. Robert Mike and I went to Grandfather Mtn.. Mike saw my daughter grow up from 9 years to be a college graduate. Mike and Tamara were there with me to grieve when my father passed on to the rest of his life. As a friend of my fathers said to me. He may not be here now, but HE IS STILL A GREAT PERSON right here, right now.. Mike Massi is still a great person, right here, right now. I love you my friend, your friend forever George Solada.

Mike and I shared our youth. We loved to travel and explore new places. He was never a stranger in a strange place.
I hope the greatest adventure of all still awaits him now on the other side of the rainbow; My wish is he finds peace, OBX beaches and fish to catch; all his favorite music plays;a dog named Dave to be his companion once again... and ready to take a ride to anywhere in the old Triumph GT-6.
Love,
Your Lona Beam
