My Dear friend I had been missing you for sometime now, and last year decided to reach out to you. Wrote you a letter and after about two weeks I received a call from your son Wayne, who informed me of your Home Going.... That really took me by surprise, as I have always thought of you as my brother. Words can not express the loss of you, for your family and our lifetime friendship. But I know that you are with our Heavenly Father, in a place with no more worries where there is only peace. I miss you my brother, there was never another like you or will there ever be. Mike you are dearly missed.
