We are so sorry to hear of your loss of Mike. We did not learn the details of the funeral until it was too late to attend. Mike was a sweet and special man. We will never forget how he came to our house to visit "Aunt Rosie" when she was sick and how much she appreciated getting to see him. There's another special angel in heaven and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With love, Rose (Dencie) Morales, Carmen and Dennis Martin, (RoRo) Rosa Maria Morales and Family
