I called Mike 'my brother's.. I have been trying to get a hold of him since my mother passed. My mother Pat arenas used to babysit Mike and his brother Rick. We were like family. We went to school together. He always introduced me as this is my sister. I went up to Austin, Texas and saw him and Rod Hawkins after high School... His family and I am sick to my stomach right now that I didn't get to visit with him and tell him I love him one more time and give him a hug. I'm praying for him and his family and if there's anything I can do please please reach out to me! 319 893 0182
