Meet at at DCI dialysis clinic 3 years ago. I am one of the dialysis tech that saw him, talked with him, BS with him, and took care of him. He definitely brighten my day. Once in awhile I would bring Mike some leftovers. He's favorite was chicken enchiladas with rice. Also, I made him some home made salsa from garden and he loved it. My last memory of him was the last day he came to dialysis. Broke my heart to see how fraile he was. Unable to move on his own, speak, and not able to enjoy listening to music on TV while he is receiving treatment. I will forever cherish the time we had together.
