"Mike and I shared some fun times in school, and I knew he needed to meet my sister, Mary. I'm so glad he did and the rest is history. Mike was Mary's savior, as Roger is mine. Thank God for the two of them. Be at peace Mike, finally, and try to have things ready when we all have our turns to move in with you. Roger and I will miss you. Fish-a-minute will never be the same! God Bless. Mary you are not alone and never will be. Try to take whatever comfort you can from this. We loved both of you and your kids. You will get through this because Mike will be at your side always! trish
