  19. I lost another best friend. Mike was my brother in law but was more like a brother. I can’t even describe the sorrow I feel right now. I am so lost. Mike has been in my life for as long as I can remember. He has always been there for me no matter what. He was one of the kindest, caring, and most giving people I have ever known. He could always make me laugh . He was so much fun to be around. I will always remember is smile and laugh, and will never forget all the good times we had together. I will always love you Mike.
