Many fond memories, stored deep within my heart. You haven't left us. You just stepped into another room dancing to Martha And The Vandellas HEATWAVE.

To my brother, My other twin, the best brother a sister could have. I am so glad I got to see him in march With his tiny 13 week old puppy...that was bigger than my 6 month old dog! But that was mike. Always big from big dogs to big celebrations and living and loving in life. I honored his passing by taking a day to do things he liked to do. I went to the gym, ate white castle hamburgers, and of course had a few shots of whiskey. I called his cell phone just to hear his voice one last time. His recorded message said "This is Mike Cully, Thank you very much" Love Marie Cully Uhlig (Mitzie) Clayton & Brandon Uhlig

Thank you all for your support.
