I was very saddened to hear of Mike's death. May you find comfort in the words below. Tammy Normington Rooker, former class mate, Portland High 1980
In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

When you feel lonely for the one that you love
look to the Heavens in the night sky above.
The star that appears to be bright,
will be your loved one
looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
We Love You....Uncle Dean, Aunt Sherri, Miranda and Ashley

I had the honor of meeting Mike first at Marcy's graduatrion party in 1981. The young couple only had eyes for each other on that day and for each other and their three wonderful children later. In some cases the quantity of the length of a person's life promotes their legasy. In Mike's case, it shall be the quality of his life that endures with all of us that love him so much. Mike was certainly one of the greatest people I have ever met, and he will be missed by us all. May God hold Mike gently within the palm of his hand untill he can walk the streets of heaven with all of those he loves for eternity. All my love...Uncle Tom
