I was shocked and saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was at my house this past March with a mutual friend and I totally enjoyed “catching up.” He and my late husband Gary were very close friends years ago. My sympathies to his family.
To Mike, family and friends,
At this difficult time you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the memories you hold deep within your heart help ease the sorrow you are feeling.
With Deepest Sympathy
Scott, Chris & LaDonna
