My thoughts and prayers are with the family, my children and friends during this difficult time of sadness and heartache.
I am heartbroken and so sad that you were taken from your family so young. I felt your pain and I am happy I was there to spend time with you before you went to heaven.
You always had a humerous side and always lent a helping hand to anyone who needed help. You will always have a special place in my heart. I will make sure your grandchildren know what good qualities you had.
We all love you Mike and will remember you always!!!!!!!!
