Pinkie: I just found out that you joined the the Heavenly Choir from brother, Tim Bird. We both miss you and will see you soon. Judy, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you when you guys lived in Lkld but I know were special for Mike to marry! We were in music groups @ First Assembly and shared many good memories in our early twenties! I know Mike is happy and singing his heart out for the Lord and we shall see him soon. Praying for you, Judy, and God's Peace for you.

Mike you will be sorely missed,I remember so many good times together as we were growing up. I remember how you, Larry and I would get together and always seemed to get into some sort of mischief. We were like the 3 stooges and you always gave our sisters fits......We talked at length a couple times recently and I didn't know how to tell you how my heart hurt when I thought of your passing. You are more like my brother than cousin, you'll be missed but only for a short time and then we'll get together again with Our Lord in Heaven.....I've been there, met Him and am sure you are now in His presence....I'll be looking you and rest of the family when I get there...See you soon, love you.... Judy you and the rest of the family are in our prayers and know that the Holy Spirit will comfort you thru these difficult days ahead.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike at the Bedford VAMC. Mike will be remembered for his infectious smile and his charisma. Mike touched the lives of anyone he encountered. He was a man of valor and strength and although he is no longer here with us in the physical sense; he will always be with us in spirit. Mike, we miss seeing you at the front desk but I know that you are in a better place. You left an impression with all of us and we will remember you always! Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference... Mike you did!! I feel blessed to have known you. May you rest in peace...
