Terry and Vic, Mike's funeral was Absolute-ly amazing. The outpouring of love from so many friends was awesome. Mike was well liked and well loved. The grave side service put the icing on the cake. For those who didn't make it all the way through to the cemetery, you missed "The Toast". What a send off!!! I will miss my dear friend more than I can say. Fly high, Mike, fly!!!
