I will be forever grateful for Mike coming into My Mother’s life.. our lives.. I was about 9 years old when he did. I forever be thankful and always appreciative of him for loving my mother like he did and being her “sugar” and best friend.. He loved me and my boys like we was his own.. His grandkids made his heart happy and you could see it in his heart and life.. He will be missed by so many and just knowing as soon as his soul left his body he was his “sugar” again.. We love you Mike “paw paw” and you will forever be greatly missed by your family..
