I will always miss our little talks. Mike has helped me and so many others, and was such a good friend. The children are a reflection of their parents.

I'm so sorry Kristie. I really loved him and I cherished all of my memories of him. If I had known he was sick, I would have come immediately to see him. I wish I could have held his hand and heard his wonderful laugh one more time. Tonight, he soars with the angels and kisses the face of God. May he have peace forever.

It was a pleasure to serve with Mike in the La. Senate. He had a great, kind heart and could find humor in any situation. He was my friend!

Mike will always be Mayor Mike in my mind. My family moved next door to Mike's Mom and Sister in 1976 and Mayor Mike was larger than life to me as a kid. I am so sad to hear of his passing and will always hold his memory in highest regards.

My heart is sad, and I will miss my dear friend. I pray God will give his family comfort and strength. His faith was an inspiration to me, and his love for his family was unbelievable. He leaves us with precious memories.

Kristie, my thoughts and prayers r with u and the kids; just know earth has no sorrow that Jesus can't bare. I know all so well what u r feeling, but at a time like this, press n and give God Praise for the time He allowed u guys to b together. Mike is living in eternity now and is having the best time of his life where everyday is good and no day is better than the other! Love you and will miss my friend who I never got on that mission field with me. :)

I remember Mike from high school as a good friend to me, and to all. He was someone who would radiate warmth wherever he went with his famous, trademark smile and genuine love for others. I hadn't seen Mike since high school, and it's just unbelievably sad to see his picture here now. My family and I send our love, prayers and condolences to his family...as well as the rest of us who've lost one of the very special ones....

Mike was a good friend, neighbor and Gentleman. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. His valued, engaging, advise was well known on our street.
Mike could easily summarize the woes of our country in a few long minutes.
His belief in Christ Jesus was steadfast.
I could go on and on as he and I would occasionally do in my front yard, lawnmower and car running.
I'll miss you my friend!
