Betty, Rhonda and Chris,
I was sorry to hear about Mike. He was one of my favorite cousins, and growing up together we had a lot of good times. I remember the good time we had when we went to Arkansas on a fishing trip, fishing in the white and red rivers of Arkansas. I have many good memories of Mike. My thoughts are with you.
