Dear Aunty Kath and David,
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
God saw that Uncle Mike was getting tired and that a cure for MN was not to be, so he gently put his arms around him and whispered "come to me"
Although we all loved Mike dearly, we could not make him stay.
We believe Uncle Mike is now in heaven, smiling; as he's now reunited with Jeannie and Danny.
May they all rest in peace. Lot's of love always from Janine, Peter and family in Western Australia.
