    Marietta, Chris, David, and Danny: No words will be able to console the grief and sorrow you must be experiencing at this difficult time. Mike was always a great person to be around. With his sarcasm and wit, he always had us laughing. I know I will always remember him for his laugh – it’s his one thing he always loved to share. May you find peace knowing that he is now with the angels above and sharing his laughter with them. With deepest sympathies, Kelly
