Jill, Shannon and Jamie - I was very sad to hear about Mike's passing - my deepest sympathies are with you at this very difficult time. I have some wonderful memories of Mike and you from our little league years. Those were the best times. Mike was a great guy! I'm sure he is in heaven talking baseball with Norb.

Love, Karen Pabich
