Dear Fay,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on Mike's death. I never saw him when he didn't smile or make a little joke! He was a very sweet man and I will never forget how kind and helpful he was when my precious husband passed away six years ago. I sincerely wish we had known you and Mike earlier in life so we could have heard his band! It must have been awesome! Love and prayers to you and your family.
