I sometimes talked to Mike when I would call for Sharon. Mike was always very friendly and talkative. Godspeed Mike, you will be sorely missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God watch over you during this difficult time.
You was the best grandpa you will be missed but never forgotten i love you
