MY FAMILY:

I will never find the words to fulfull the love and admiration I have for all of you. I will never be able to repay the debt of concern and love that you encompassed me with during the last several days. You were my rock!
I am so glad we had our get together the last weekend of Mikes life here on earth together. He loved all you guys very much. I know he was not a saint and some times were tough, but he had his most fun loving you guys and just letting him be him.
I know there are things that we will never truly understand, but he loved all of you with all his heart. Sheron and Jerry, he truly admired and loved you both. Cameron, Diane and Brock, the last week we were with your guys and Brock touched his heart. God gave him that night without you guys there. Brandon, he understood your heart. John and Lauren, you were his unconditional love. Tressie and Mark, you were always there, agreeing to disagree as Tressie says. Maybe not agreeing in his way, but could always always be counted upon and the love he had for you was truly real. Meredith, Michael and Devin, you were tough and gave Mike and challenge with your quick similar wits, you made him think, but know he loved you and he knew you loved him. Allison and Chad, we have been through so so much together and you were like his own. He loved you dearly.
YOU WERE HIS FAMILY.
Thank you all so very much for all you did for us during our lifetime together. You guys are and have always been the very best family to be a part of. We have our differences but you are always there no matter what. I will never forget this nor have I ever forgotten what you guys have done and given for my family.
I love you all from the very deepest bottom of my heart.
