My dearest bff, Marie and Joey and Amanda,
I am so saddened to hear of Mikes passing. We conversed through facebook most every morning. I had no idea he was so ill. I knew he wasnt in good health, but never imagined it would come to this so soon. He had so much love to give to his friends, but mostly his loving children and his loving and devoted wife, Marie.
If you all need anything, please call me day or night, my number is 301-302-6253.
I know Mike is shining down on his family now, making sure everyone is taken care of. He was a good man.
All my love, Brenda Norleen

I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Mike. He always made my morning and evening special on facebook with his good morning or good evening gifs. I will miss you my friend from a far. I am sorry for your loss of such a great husband, dad and grand dad.
