Mike, I didn't know you nearly as well as I would've liked to have known you but I do know that you loved life and you loved your dear wife. I will do my best to be there for her and I know that you will watch over her and wait for the day when you will once again be with her. We will all miss you.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote that beauty, in its most supreme development, excites the soul to live. What excites the soul to live is when it is "seen" by another. We are rarely blessed with those who have the ability to "see" others. Sgt. Steve M. Anderson was one of those people. And for that reason, I will always remember him to be a beautiful human being. I offer my deepest and most sincere condolences to his wife Kat and to his family.
