Great guy. Even though we lived many miles away from each other, one of us would call the other monthly to catch up. I miss talking to my cousin Mike.

Mike was a great guy and every time I fly out to the Nevada Test Site I think of Mike and miss him still. We would compare tattoos and laugh. I miss you buddy. Rocky

Our memories build a special bridge when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still and sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared, preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love and bring us peace of mind. Will miss you and love you forever.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

You will be missed by so many!
