Not sure what to say?





Hard to believe it's been 8 years. I feel the loss every time I think to call you to catch up or share some news, but I get by with the memories we made. Fortunately there are thousands of them and I end up smiling, or laughing out loud and I know you will always be with me. Brothers forever!

So sorry for your loss. It's always a shock to hear of people passing that are so young. Mike was an awesome guy. I looked up to him when we were younger.

You were a great friend. It's hard for me to believe that you are gone in body, though you surely are alive in spirit and in the hearts of all your family and friends. Gordon Slack

Margie, Ann & Sally
I know your loss is great, and no words could ever heal the pain you feel. Maybe knowing that you don't grieve alone brings some comfort. As a lifelong friend, I can honestly say that Mike was always kind to everyone, and loyal to his friends. As you well know, we literally grew up together and we have remained close friends throughout our lives. There are so many memories I have of the times we spent together. They will live on with me and with the others who were fortunate enough to be his friend. Love to you all

Margie, Ann, and Sally,

We were sad to learn of Mike's passing. What a larger than life man I always remember him to be so sweet and kind to everyone that crossed his path. I will never forget my first Lee High Prom with him. What a fun person! We send our prayers, love, and heartfelt sympathy to your entire family.

Dear Mrs. Margie, Ann and Sally, I am so sad to hear this. Mike was my "first boyfriend" and I have always remembered him so fondly. Growing up in Magnolia Woods with Mike, Danny, and the rest of the crew was a wonderful time of my life. We all had such lovely childhoods. I know that my little brother Brad always had a crush on Sally, and not sure which one of my brothers had a crush on Ann - probably all of them. Much love to you all!
