I have known Mike all my life. He and his family and my family were together most ever weekend. What fond memories I have of Mike. He is with his Christ Jesus now. I will see him again shortly!!

I was privileged to care for Mike, he was to me a sweet gentleman and very meticulous about his things. I'll definitely miss how he always recognized my voice even with his eyes closed . I know you are in a better place now and I'm grateful to God for making me care for a beautiful soul like you. May the Lord be with you as you journey on!
