Family and friends of Mike, I remember Mike as someone who cared for others. He had his Mother's tender spirit and always welcomed anyone who appeared to be in need. His Dad worked on our clunky cars for us back in the day. I visited when he took over caring for his parents as they aged. In spite of the blows life handed him, I believe God has welcomed him into a peaceful rest. He is comforted and may God grant comfort and sweet sympathy to all who loved him. Love and prayer, In Jesus' Name, Cindy Irvin+
