Hi Vickie
We've never met before, however I've heard a lot of great things about you and the children. Mike and I used to work together in the shipyard, and I considered him a very dear and good friend of mine. When my husband told me this morning that he had passed away, a sadness filled my heart, and I just had to let you and your family know that you have our deepest sympathy. Just remember God's love is always there for us in times like these.
From my family (Bobby, Rosemary & Brandon) to yours, God Bless you all.
