Mike, I am unsure what the weather is going to be tomorrow. You know I cannot go out in ice or snow. So I may have to wait till spring to stop by and see you. I'll find you somehow.
Until then drive through the Stars and remember they were a lot of people who really enjoyed your conversation and found you to be very worldly.
My thoughts are with you.

I enjoyed visiting Mike at Linda Manor. He always had a long tale about how he was going to get out of there, chuckling through the whole thing. We joked about him taking over the kitchen so the food would be better. He had good ideas for that. I will miss our visits.

Mike was such a kind and gentleman. He loved to get into his car and just drive he knew every back road there was.
So might get back in your car and drive through the Stars. Don't forget your diet coke and you can stop for lunch at the ice cream shop vanilla was your favorite.
