Alissa, I did not know your dad. I just know he has a daughter who has a heart filled with love and that is something you learn from your parents. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

Mike and I grew up together and had a lot of great adventures and experiences. Will always have the memories of my cousin and good friend. We will meet again in the next life.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

He was my cousin, we all kind of grew up together.
Mike was always smiling and he had a really delightful laugh.
Although I haven't seen him much these past couple years, I've thought about him and how much fun he was to be around. He will be missed.
