Mike was always a good friend, he had me over to play games both board and computer. Was always generous with his time and willingness to help. I truly will miss him as a friend and brother.

Micheal, It has been so long since I have seen you but my memory's of us all growing up will always be rememberd. I remember all of us at the hospital when I had gotten hit with the bat by Byron on accident because you all made a story up to make Travis mad. It was all in fun and we had some fun times. I wonder sometimes if that fence post ever gotten fixed. LOL Even though I haven't seen you in like forever you was always thought about. You will be missed by me. Till we meet again rest in peace. Your old friend..Diedra
