We had such good times together on the weekends listening to music and whatever other shenanigans we got ourselves into. You had told me many times that you would have been proud to have me as a daughter!
I always appreciated and loved you for that. So witty, intelligent and good humor. God speed my friend. Prayers for Dave and family.

So sorry to hear this sad news. It was always fun talking to Mike during our time sitting next to each other in study hall and during the many days and evenings we spent together with our mutual group of friends after we graduated from high school. As it so often happens in life, sadly I hadn't seen or talked with Mike in a long time. We have lost one of the originals.
