I grew up with Mike. He lived next door when I small and my sisters and I played with Mike and his brother and sister. We went to the same church in Shopville. The last thing he did for me was sell me a car. Mike was kind and such a good person he will be missed. I am praying for you Barbara and your family.
My prayers for peace to Barbara, Courtney and Eric and all his family and friends. Mike was always such a fun loving person. Keep his laughter alive. Bless you all.
