Cousins Kelly & Eric,
I'm sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I know our lives have gone in different directions, but I have fond memories of us all hanging out at Mamaw & Papaw's when we were kids. I'm sure this loss will leave a big void in your lives, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace. Condolences to Mike's girls, partners, and grandchildren as well.

For Mikes family,
I knew Mike all his life, and we were good friends at different times of our lives. He was so talented in his paintings and so misunderstood at times. He loved his family with all his heart. Rest in Peace, Mike, and prayers to all who loved him.
