My heart stopped a beat when I heard about your passing dear cousin Mike. I never got to know you like Patti , Rodney and Rocky as you were younger than I. But the love and caring is still there for those special cousins that was a part of my life. You will always hold a part in my life. Love you dear cousin.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mike will always be remembered, he always had a smile on his face and enjoyed everyone around him being happy, Mike would go out of his way just to see you smile. I would not be where I am today without Mike's encouragement and believing in me and making me feel good about myself. I will miss the 20 -30 minute phone calls every night, we were like young school kids talking on the phone but yet grown men just living life. Mike you will never be forgotten. RIP My good friend
