My favorite brother-in-law and known fondly in our house as Uncle Mike. You have been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. I can't begin to imagine how empty it will be now without you in it. Although, we will not forget you and I will be here for my sister, your children and grandchildren, whenever needed. Your Goddaughter has a special Angel now and as she grows I will tell her about you and how much you and her daddy liked to tease each other. We love you Uncle Mike. Rest well until we meet again.

Dad was the hardest worker I have ever known. He worked many many long hours so we could have the best of everything. I will never forget our week long fishing trip to Minnesota, just he and I, when I was 12. I'm proud of you dad for fighting so hard these past months. The boys will always remember you. We love you more than words and express.

I'll miss Mike a lot, more like a big brother than a cousin to Nick and myself. I still remember when Mike used to have to carry me to kindergarden,over his shoulder, kicking and screaming the whole way. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I did not see the visitation information in the paper, it is at the Edmonds-Evans Funeral Home @ 6941 Central in Portage Ind. on Tuesday 5-6-03 between 2pm and 8pm.219-762-1330
