Ann,
It was apparent from your words today that you truly knew your man. Over the last 4 years, it seems that Mike and I spoke daily. My wife said she will miss his caring questions and cheerful quips. I always had a lot of respect for Mike--even more with Ann revelations. GOD bless the Parham family and we only hope that when we make it to Heaven, all of the storage/space problems will be solved.

Grew up running the streets of our neighborhood with Mike. Hide and seek after dark during the summer from 13th to 16th, playing in the ditches, just gathering with all the other neighborhood kids in someone's yard sitting around talking or playing. We had so much fun and I'll never forget any of our childhood friends. Mike, I remember you playing Reveille on your trumpet in the mornings. I know you'll be meeting up with Kenneth and Lulu and running the streets of heaven together again.
