His family and friends will be in our prayers for strength. They seemed like a great couple who shared my love of Corvettes and Harleys. I'm very sorry for the loss.

Rest in Peace Mike
You guys have my sincere condolences. As sad as it is for us to say goodbye I know that God has heard our prayers in that Mike has recieved the ultimate Christmas present, deliverance from his suffering. He is truly happy now. Tell Anne he is still with her always.

Cancer took my mother at age 53. She loved my son so very deeply and always talked of being there for his high school graduation. Long story short, I had a dream that she was still alive and embarrassed us by darting on stage and hugging my son as he crossed it with his diploma. When the graduation day really came it was held outdoors in the football stadium with a temporary stage set up. The spring night was warm and calm without so much as a light breeze. When my son crossed the stage a gust of wind came up out of nowhere and blew his hat and tassle off is head and sent him scrambling after it. He was the only one this happened to and there was not so much as a slight breeze afterwards. I was filming the ceremony and it hit me later when I watched it. My mother had ran up on stage and hugged him. True story. I have it on tape.

Mike will still be around. Just watch for little subtle signs of his presence.

Just read the email from Jim. So sad... so very sad. But he is much better off. We may be a bit empty, but he is healed.

Great video Mojo, A little hard to type whith tears in your eyes. You don't have to know someone to be touched by their lives. Thanks for a brief view of some of his friends and his wife.

So sorry to hear the terrible news, damnit! What a shame, I hate to hear that, I know all too well whats its like to lose someone to this despicable disease. Well, not to sound cliched, but it is true, his suffering is over, and hopefully he is in a better place! My condolences to his family, I know what they're going through...only time will help, because you never "get over" losing someone, you just learn to cope with the loss. I am truly sorry to hear the bad news, and my heart goes out to Mike's family and friends.

We lost my father-in-law on Christmas Eve a few years ago. After watching him pass over, we knew his spirit would be with us for every Christmas.

OMG Frank, I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I hadn't been on the forum in the last few days to see this thread but I have been keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

This may not help but it was the only thing that kept me strong when I lost my brother .... "ALWAYS remember the good times and the blessings that you received from having someone that special in your life"

Again, I am so very sorry to hear this.

Frank
I had to post the reply above this one first before watching the video. It is really hard to type with tears in my eyes right now. You did an incredible job on the vid. I never knew Mike but feel like I do now after getting a brief view of his life.

Never forget the good times. God Bless.

Everybody keep up the prayers for Anne. She's a real hero. I miss Mikey really bad, and I've never even met him personally.


Oh yeah, as for the video, I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD. My computer is WAAAY to slow for Mojo's downloads
