You were my father and my friend. We shared so many years of conversations, laughs, tears, hugs, adventures, and so much more. You were the best daddy a girl could ever hope for. I will miss you every second, every day.

My prayers for Pat, Mike's children & Mike's Grandchildren. What a heartbreaking loss. Will miss all the times we bowled couples, played cards, ate & drank. Will miss all the times Mike stopped in for a beer when he was out on the bike. Mike I loved you like a brother. Keep Frank busy until I get there. You will always be missed & loved.
