Mike, I will always remember you as the strong man you were. The many times you help me move from one palce to another. The way you always could lift the heavy jobs and never complain. You and Bernie the best of pals. So many memories I have of you. Now that you are with our Heavenly Father, you may have rest and comfort, no more pain, just joy.
In Christian Love, Vicki
