There are simply not enough words to describe my love for Mikey. He became such a large part of my life in the mid 2000's. He actually used to call me mother. The laughs we shared were uncountable. Myself, Bob and Mikey became a trio of laughs and love.
I will miss those beautiful blue eyes and the special bond we shared. Till we meet again RIP!
