So many times I've came to the computer to type out something for Mikes page and so many times I've had to close it down and walk away... it just doesn't seem real. Losing Mike so soon can teach us all a lesson in life that tomorrow is never promised and we need to live each day as though it's the last. Keep those we love close to us and never take the time we have in our lives for granted. I share the sadness with many.. of all the lives he touched. Spending many years as his wife I have so many special moments to reflect on. Beginning with anyone who I introduced him to as my boyfriend/husband.....I knew everyone would love him... and they did! He had countless friends who spoke highly of him and showed true loyalty as a friend they could always count on... no matter when, how or what... he'd be there. We spent many great times at cottages and beaches with so many friends, times I will never forget. When I met him he had his beautiful daughter Karissa.. he did so much with her and proved to be an amazing father in so many ways.... That continued when we brought Tremayne and Tayjah into the world ( for short .. Mike named them Tre and Tayj). He never had to be asked to change a diaper or get up in the night... he was hands on for it all!! As they grew older.. he took them all (including my son Jaedon) on many bike rides and adventures... swimming and skating.. to many play areas and water parks.. although I question if that was more for him than for the kids.. cos he was always a kid at heart.. he wouldn't just sit at the side lines and watch.. he'd be there with his own and everyone elses kids having a blast!!,, he was simply... being Mike. xoxox Its true our marriage ended.. but I NEVER stopped wanting for Mike to be happy and healthy. He leaves behind his dear Mother Lucil, his sisters, brother, aunts, uncles and many many cousins, near and far.. his many friends from back in the day to present and last but not least his beautiful Children... they will continue to grow and make him proud. I promise to continue to share the great memories we've had as we have done over the years through the many videos and pictures we have. ( thanks to Mike and his forever taping and picture taking to capture all those special times.. so much so ... its been a challenge to find as many pictures of him as I would have liked.). Mikes memory will live on ... I thank you for being part of my life... through the good times and the bad.. its taught me so much to be the strong person I am today... to be the Mother I've needed to be and will need to continue being. I promise to continue to be there for our children and one day ( I pray to see...) our Grandchildren. R.I.P Mike... R.I.P.
