Mike I bet you and your little sister are singing already, I laugh thinking about you, her, and Linda singing at Church that night she was so hyper you didn´t know what to do, Preacher Kenny just kept playing whatever she suggested. A very sweet memory! I still miss you more than you´ll ever know and I´m sad about Theresa´s passing but I know she was tired. So many of our loved ones are now with you vs here with me and I love and miss them all so much!
Love you always ~ Me

Omg, Life gets harder every passing day ~ if you love at all you’re going to hurt it’s a given! Guessing you’ve probably seen Momma by now, today makes a month— to be so numb I hurt sooo bad. Another piece of my heart now resides in Heaven! G struggles with you being gone, you would be so proud of him, his business is going great he & Edmund steady expanding. Much love being sent your way ~ Love, Me (hey Momma, I know you’re overseeing this).... I love y’all!
Love ,

Life with you ended way to soon, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and continue to miss you. (Never knew lonely til You) Garrison loves telling little things you two did that I am just now finding out, I tell him not to cause me to get mad with you and stop putting flowers on your grave haha He smiles that smile and says momma you wouldn’t do that, it’s just a good memory daddy & I shared ... by then I’m crying as I do often. Enjoy Heaven & All Our Loved Ones ~ We’ll be together again one day! Until then I’ll Still Be Loving You, always ~Me

Still Love & Miss You! ~Always, Greta & Garrison

We continue to miss Mike and know that it's nothing compared to your grief and loss. Our prayer is that God will always give you and Garrison the peace of knowing that Mike is in a better place and will be there waiting for you, with that big smile on his face! Only time will heal the pain that both of you feel. We love you, Aunt Christine, Uncle Richard and Sam

Missing You each and every day. You touched the lives of so many..the Award in the memorial picture was given 6/2017 in Your Memory by WBHS Varsity Baseball "Lifetime Diamond Award" #doitforMike as the teams chatted that year as Our Son

Still missing you....there's so much I wish we could talk about, as you have always said, you loved our gift of being able to talk to each other..found a note you wrote me the other day, back in 1997, also saw the note last night in church that you kept in your Bible, where we both had written to each other. I wish you were here, but you deserved the VERY BEST, and that was HEAVEN!
Always & Forever ~ Me

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
I LOVED "OUR" DANCE!
Loving & Missing you today..."Our engagement date 7/7" as we would say "I Love You", "Me You"!

Mike was a nice guy and someone you could count on. He could sing and even had a song we played on WKZQ back in the day. Yes, he enjoyed singing the National Anthem at Myrtle Beach Speedway. Rest is Peace after your hard long fight. Last time I saw him he was cruising in the Mustang, a fond memory for me of him.

Our loss is heaven's gain! Mike fought a good fight but God saw how tired he was and took him home to be with him and the loved ones that were already there. That was a great reunion! He'll be missed by all who knew him because he was such a kind and loving person. May God give you new strength each day. We know he's the only one that can heal a broken heart. Love you, Uncle Richard, Aunt Christine and Sam
