Hey Mike, just sitting here by myself and you ran through my mind as you often do. Was thinking about all the good times we had together. And the bad times because its only normal. All in all we always remained friends. We took the good with the bad. I was thinking about how you would always say ," come over and lets try to solve the worlds problems. The laughs , the fun, the craziness. Is'nt the same with you not around. We talked about everything. Christmas came and a new year began. Things are different but time is still moving. You'll always be in my mind and heart. You were and still am the coolest person i know. I truly admired you. You was real and had a sense of humor like no other. You use to make me laugh till it hurt. It was good. Well long enough. Just wanted to tell you hi and be cool up there. Miss you man.

Mike I learned of your passing by looking you up on the internet. Something was tugging at me to look you up as I did so many times before but was never successful locating you. When I saw your name and obituary I was riddled with grief. I just couldn't believe it. Although you and I parted ways many years ago you have always been in my heart. I never forgot about you. You were my first love. The three years you and I were together we had so many good times. You had a beautiful smile and a hardy laugh. I've missed you and your family through the years. You will always hold a special place in my heart. May you rest in peace.
