Mike, although the flame you created on earth has blown out, it still burns in heaven. We were all so very lucky to have known you. Yours was a soul so rare and special. With its quirks and individualistic tendencies, you were loved by all. A personality so precious. A big man seeming to be bulletproof, yet couldn't be further from the truth. We were blessed to know real you. We can all now breathe that deep sigh of relief knowing you are healed and painless. Healthy once again. Free of that illness and flying high. Watching us all from above. Our guardian angel. Thank you for blessing us all with your love. Your heart. Your humour. Your heart. We will miss you so, so, SO DAMN MUCH. Please watch out for us and our little ones. Guide us carefully with each step we take. You are free. It's not "goodbye". It's "Until we meet again". So long, my friend.
