When I think of Mike, I think of camp de sabla. When I think of Mike I think of kindness.
Mike, men like myself aspire to hopefully become at least half the man you are, because not many people on this earth can come close to reach your level of greatness. Cathy, Lindsey, Britney, and Vanessa. My sincerest condolences. My heart and prayers go out to you.
