I remember our childhood cousin visits, though Infrequent, since we lived so far away. It was so fun to see our twin Dads together & hang out. I remember Mike was so nice and fun to be around. He and Dave were always outnumbered by all the girls. They took it so well. & made the best of it. So sad they were taken home so early, but glad they are together in heaven. ????
I’m so sorry to hear of Michael’s passing. I hope you all can reflect on those wonderful times with him. Hugs to your whole family.
My heart is heavy…..my prayers are with you all. He was one of my favorite cousins. RIP Mike.
Julie-my heart aches for you. I love you with all my heart, and I know you don’t want to miss him, but he’s still right here. May God bless you and keep you. Love, Suzy
