Mike was a one in a million. He was the best brother that anyone could ever have. I was blessed that God chose him to be mine. He was and will always be a big part of my life. His strength that he has shown both before his illness and during his entire fight can never be measured. I love you and will always carry you in my heart.

I cut Mike's hair for quite some time before he got sick. After he was diagnosed I never had the chance to see hime again. In my profession you meet a lot of people.

Over the years I've lost a few. It's hard because you come to think of them as friends. I have, and will continue to miss Mike. Kayce, you amaze me. You have been very strong. keep yourself that way.

I'm proud of you.

May God bless your family,

Shelly
