We were so sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. I went to Brewton Parker with Mike. He was a very good basketball player and athlete. Mary rode to graduate school at Ga. Southwestern with Mike’s mother and remembers her talking about Mike. He was a good guy! We have the family in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Suzanne,
I’m so sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. Mike was the first kid I met in Glenwood. I was living in Gainesville, Fla., and we were visiting Mac Mac, my grandmother on Daddy’s side. She and your grandmother were friends from college days. Anyway, We hit it off from our first day and enjoyed our time together throughout our lives. There is no one like Mike, and I’ve traveled many roads and met lots of people. I’ll always cherish his friendship.
Mark

Suzanne - I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I met Mike through my husband, Tony. He was a groomsman in our wedding. Over the years I have heard so many stories of all the good times that he and Tony had shared. I know he will be missed by you, your family and all of his friends. With deepest sympathy.

Suzanne, Cecilia and I wanted you to know
that we are thinking of all of you. We have
great memories of him making us laugh, and
also watching him star in basketball games.
We are glad our paths crossed back then.
Love you and praying for all of you.
