Mike was a sweet and wonderful person. I am sad for your loss and I know you will miss him. I will be praying for each of you.
Sad to hear. My prayers to the family.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Will continue to pray for Brenda, Melissa and Robbie and family. Mike was always a encouraging and thoughtful person that would ask how I was doing when I saw him. A great example of a husband and father for us all.
