Mike you are really going to be missed at McDonalds. I am sure Bobby can carry on but we alway's enjoyed talking to you and Bobby. It was like a reunion when we came in. I am praying for your wife, and all your family. I know you will be missed greatly. But God needed another Angel. We will all see you one day. I remember you two men and how you two alway's visited your Mom at Courtland and The Hospital. I was her nurse, Fran was such a delight. Praying for all of you.
