I did not know Mike. His mother was a friend of my parents and a blessing to me. If Mike was anything like his mom I am sure he was a GREAT GUY. I will pray for his family and loved ones to find acceptance and peace. Addiction is a sad disease that continues to destroy a lot of good people. Teresa Hudson
