I only knew Mike through our working together, with him at Insight and I at Case Systems, but I can say that he was truly a Southern gentleman if there ever was such a person. A very patient man even when the heat was on in a very warm kitchen such as our industry can be sometimes. Mike told me of his planned trip to Fatima. Upon his return I asked him of the experience and you could hear the spirit in his voice. He spoke of enjoying the time with his wife and how the experience and the beauty of the area made the hairs on his neck stand up. He repeatedly said that it was the trip of a lifetime and encouraged me to go for myself some day. I bet we spoke for close to an hour that day about the time he had. My own father has often spoke of wanting to go to Fatima and after speaking to Mike I hope that I can experience some of the same joy and spirit that Mike did with my own family. In sharing Mike's story with family they too became more interested in going there for themselves. I am so sorry for your loss and look forward to seeing Mike in the world to come.

Paulette, you and your family have been in my prayer. Mike was a prince of a man and too young by our earthly standards, but you and family have another intercessor in heaven now. I know that losing your spouse and best friend is very difficult. Be assured of my continued prayer.
