My condolences to the family, Mike was such a good guy. I missed the service due to a previous commitment.
This is for Mike...we had not had contact for awhile, but whenever we did run into each other it was so much fun. I am sorry for what you went through, you didn't deserve this. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope somewhere in the recesses of your mind, you knew I loved you. Rest In Peace, till we meet again.
