Sorry to hear about Mike's passing. His heart was always in the right place...even if he was fighting! That was in the old days. I remember sharing with him how I overheard some people at a concert talking about their driver and what a great guy he was..of course it was Mike they were talking about! He was funny and sincere and really loved his family! I hope you find comfort Pat, knowing that nothing separates us from love.
