I felt a special bond with Mike as we shared more than the title of "first cousins." We were baptized together, confirmed together and graduated together. We did so much together as kids…. building dams at the creek, playing baseball in the field, fishing, birthdays and holidays…. We even took a road trip to California together.
I will miss your beautiful blue eyes, your "belly laughs", and the visits where the conversation flowed and we would tease each other.
Mike gave me a new appreciation of all that I take for granted. Every time I left his home, I felt a sense of awe on how he lived that way with grace. He told me that his time on earth was only a small section of life in the scheme of what is to come. I can see you now, running and hunting and fishing in heaven. I love you and look forward to seeing you again… Sue
