I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Mike. I met you when I was a Sophomore in HS. Sandy was my very best friend & the 3 of us would get lunch, together & laugh like fools. My dad worked w your dad for the City of Scranton as Dispatchers. It's a small world. My heart goes out to Sandy & both of the families. I will keep an eye on her, Mike to make sure she is fine & will continue to have many laughs, again. I remember the fun we all had at Sandy & my Prom. God bless you, Mike & rest peacefully. ~ Kathleen
