We heard this once before and it expresses our sentiments exactly - "Remember during this difficult time…death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal."
Mike was a great neighbor; so friendly & always waving or saying hello. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Dad, I miss you so much already. I am going to always miss having you around and trying your best to be a dad and a husband. You were the hardest working man I knew. I feel if anyone that wanted to know how much hard of working man they should be, they should look at you and reflect all of what you dedicated your whole life to. Rest in peace to the most hard working man I will ever know and one of the best tv buddies I will ever have. I love you dad always and forever.
