    Please accept my heartfelt condolence. I pray that you have friends to uplift you, love to comfort you and memories to hold in your heart. I did not know Mike. I never met him. But I was touched by his love through a friend at the home, Gary Seyfried. I felt the love when he talked about “Mikey”. I saw the love in the picture he sent me. I know Mike will be missed. You will all be in my prayers. RIP Mike Beezley
