    Sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Mike was always a delight to talk to at LWDR functions, loved is sense of humor, devotion and compassion for the rescues. I only wish I could have had another chance to visit with him since it’s been months since I have send him. Thought and many prayers to Terry and the rest of his family.
