Words can not express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your husband, Mike.I can't imagine the sorrow you and your family must feel.I know that Mike wasn't only your husband; he was your best friend, soul mate and a kindred spirit. Both of you were a great example of two people who always were in harmony with each other.I am very sorry for your loss and I will keep you and your family bright within my prayers.
