My cousin Mike was in my eyes a quiet man that was able to light up a room with the twinkle in his eyes. I had such a crush on him when I was little. And would pretend I was going to marry him some day. He could always make me laugh even at the worst times. And when he would smile, it made me feel like smiling too. Well Mike until we meet in heaven some day you will be missed. I Love you, Pammy
Uncle Mike and were pretty close, we lived and worked together at various times throughout the years. He let me live with him when he lived in Gurnee when I needed a place to stay. I'll always remember him as a man I respected and loved, see you later Uncle Mike, you will be missed.
Mike,May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand I will see you again it's never good bye Peace my friend 8 of
