Mike .. I can’t believe you have left us.
You were a wonderful brother and my life here is feeling empty without you.
I’m doing my best to help with Chance.
You know you can rest in peace knowing that Chance will be ok. He will
continue to live out his life being the spoiled pup you raised him to be.
Please tell our family there that I love them all. I know they were overjoyed to welcome you and have you with them again. Please watch over the rest of us until we all reunite.
Visit me in dreams or any way you choose. My heart will always receive your love. I’ll think of you with every Eagles and Phillies game. I’ll cheer in your place and rejoice with you in their wins.
Thank you for all the love and joy you brought to me and know how proud I have always been of you and your accomplishments. You worked so hard throughout your life. You brought me and my kids many smiles.
You will never be just a memory Mike.
Kristie and Frankie have lost an uncle that loved them so deeply.
To Ron, Margaret, Michael R, Darryl,
Brigette and Chance, my deepest
condolences and love.
Dills / Perdue strong we will be.
Cherish all the good memories we each have of Mike.
