I was Mikes cna for the last few month. We had a very close bond. He always told me he loved me and thanked me for taking care of him. I loved Mike very much. At night we would watch Turner Classic Movies together. At 7:00 at night he shared his canned fruit his friend Mike brought in for him. I will miss Mikey so much. My heart is broken. I also took care of his wife Mary. Very lovely, but there was just something about Mike. I will see you again in heaven one day my dear friend. Love you so much!! Lisa Moses
