Kimmy, Steph, and I are sorry for your loss. From the first time I met Mike, we had a great time. I am out of the Omaha location and every time I was in Des Moines, Mike I and would take time to visit, give each other a hard time and laugh. I always looked forward to our talks and will miss them. Of the short time I knew Mike, he was a great person and a great friend. I will miss our talks and poking each other. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Steph and I are thinking of you all during the difficult time and our prayers are with you.
