I am Eddie Hill's sister Lois. Eddie and Mike were best friends back in the day so my husband Russ and I got to know Mike well. The 4 of us went to Vegas together and Mike was such a pleasure to be around. Always happy, smiling and making us laugh. Our condolences to all his family and friends. Rest in Peace Mike.

Helen, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Theone and Kelly. I know that words cannot express the loss and the love that you have for Michael. I can only turn to my practice and my faith...and I know that everyone who has gone before him met him in a loving embrace. He will always be with you every step of your journey here on earth.
I send you healing light and all the love in my heart.
