Jenny, Pam, & the rest of Mike's family:

Mike was such a nice guy and I will always remember how he loved to cook and help Jay with our gatherings. Mike was a good son and helped with his mother also.

You fought a good fight and you kept the faith. I hope to see you again one day in heaven.

With Love & Sympathy
