Mike you will be missed. I enjoyed our talks about music and the people we knew from East High. It is a small world when we realized my Mom grew up across the street from your family. You and your twin sister were just babies when she married my Dad and had me. She really loved your family. I'm saddened to know you left us to soon amongst so many of our friends here in the past couple year's. Hope you all celebrate together ❤

I'm am so sorry for your loss.
I remember babysitting for the twins after school.
All the fun when your Mom took us with you to A&W or Dairy Queen.
