Words are nice but if you really want to help some one that is dead ... PRAY for them. That is what they really need, the more you pray the more GOD will have mercy on their soul.

Although it's been many years since I've had contact with my Uncle Mike, I have to say I have nothing but good memories of spending the summer with him and my Aunt Jo at their home in Westbury. Yes, he was a very kind and giving person and he will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to all of his family and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am very sorry for your loss. I will miss him....
