Mary, you are one of a kind and Mike was blessed to have you. My heart was more broken to see him in a condition that limited his "free spirit". We will miss him. Please be strong for the family he is watching over from another God's world. Life goes on though the vessel here has ceased to function. God bless y'all... Leonard
