Jana Mike crossed our lives in so many ways through the many years we were neighbors. He was so special and a great friend to each of us in different ways. He was especially kind to my Mom through the years and they become true friends. We will miss him terribly and will never forget our friend Mike. Our prayers are with you and your family!
