MIKE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, MY LOVER AND MOST OF ALL MY SOULMATE. MIKE HAD NO ENIMIES, HE WAS LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM, WITH NO QUESTION. HE DID NOT HAVE A EASY LIFE AS YOU ALL KNOW, BUT HE TURNED OUT GREAT. HE WAS THE PERSON THAT NO ONE COULD SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT. HE HELPED EVERYONE HE KNEW, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. MIKE WAS A TRUE BELIEVER IN GOD. HE WAS A FAMILY MAN, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY. HIS BROTHER KEVIN WAS HIS BEST FRIEND, AND HE WAS WITH HIM, THRU MIKES TRANSITION. HE LOVED TO PLAY POKER WITH ALL HIS FRIENDS, HE WAS GOOD AT IT TOO. HE HAD A WONDEERFUL TEAM TREDER FAMILY AT WORK TOO, HE LOVED THEM ALL. HIS MOTORCYCLE WAS HIS PRIDE AND JOY. HE ALSO LOVED HIS LITTLE DOG "TAZ" WHO PASSED AWAY A FEW DAYS AFTER MIKE, FROM A BROKEN HEART.
THIS IS BY FAR THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE, TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY HUSBAND. I HELD HIS HAND WHILE HE PASSED ON TO BE WITH OUR FATHER, AND HE WAS FINALLY AT PEACE. NOW HE IS ONE OF THE ANGELS WATCHING OVER US. I MISS HIM BUT I DO THANK GOD FOR THE TIME HE LET ME SHARE MIKE WITH ALL OF US. HE JUST LEFT US TOO SOON. I KNOW HE WILL BE AT THE GATES WITH OPEN ARMS WAITING FOR US. GOD BLESS, DONNA PORTER
