Mike had an amazing smile and he never said anything bad about anyone. He always said such kind things to me that made me feel so special. The other thing that I remember about Mike (besides his incredible smile) is while we were in High School we use to joke about his height (or as he said, lack of height). Then, all of a sudden, here comes a man (not a boy) into Medeco (where I worked) and he was 10 feet tall. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating, but it seemed like he was that tall!!!! I truly cared about Mike because he was such a great guy. He will be missed so very much and I hope that he knew how much we all cared about him. If he could only see our tears now!

MIKE....what an absolute doll. I have so many sweet, fond memories of you. I used to love to call you "Dewey" because it would make you blush. I also loved your sweet grin and distinct laugh! Remember when I would come to your house in junior high to study and your mom would make us tons of snacks? I always felt so welcomed in that home. It was so cozy and there was so much love there. I also remember the night that several of us girls toilet papered your house on North Lakes Drive...hiding behind the bushes and giggling in hopes that we would not get caught! Our families are so similar because you and I are the same age, Trina and Keith were good friends and Sonja and Ken were big buddies! We were also so similiar because we were the babies of the family and our parents doted on us and adored us. I was so sad when I heard that you were gone...that night I had such a vivid dream about you. You were young and innocent with your big grin and perfectly parted soft blonde hair. You did not say anything but just came and sat down beside my mom and I. I will always remember you like that.
I Love you,
Kristy
