Still hard to believe. You kept saying we should all hang out again soon and not put it off. When we talked on your Birthday I wish I had said more. Forever a friend. You will be missed.

I am absolutely broken-hearted for the Walraven family. I have been friends with Karen since the first grade, lived in their neighborhood as a kid & grew up around Mike. Such a terrible thing to lose a beloved family member way before his time. My love and prayers to the family.

RIP Mike
