I had the privilege of being neighbors and growing up with the Nalley's. 12 years with Ann as a classmate, Paul being my best friend and Mike being the older brother that I looked up to. Life and careers took over as we parted ways and the few times we would meet; we would reminisce of childhood memories. I always considered Mike a good friend and he will surely be missed. Prayers to the family. Kevin and Kaye Conley
