Bertie and Mick thank you for sharing Mike with us at Lenox. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs from the staff and residents. I am sure he is cooking someone up above a great meal.

Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a child. I pray that you can take comfort in knowing that Mike is now resting in the arms of our Lord. My deepest condolences to you and your family Bertie.

I'm so sorry aunt Bertie, I love and miss Mike so much. He was the toughest man/godfather/father figure I've ever had. But I know that he is in a better place with other loved ones that we've lost. And I will and always will be Mike's munchkin. He's gone and will never be forgotten. Please let me know if there is anything you or aunt Linda need.
