(((((((Beat))))))) He was one-of-a kind, the kind of person who truly cared about people, who was kind and generous, who made his friends feel special and loved, and who was loved by many. He had a knack for bringing quiet me out of my shell. And he was so good at making me laugh! A true gem. I feel fortunate to have been his friend, and will always treasure the time I spent laughing on this board at his crazy antics, chatting via PMs or the phone, and hanging out with him and other friends at Beatlefest a few years back. A night or two after Mike had passed away, when I was in that drowsy slumbering place between asleep and awake, an image came into my mind of Mike shaking hands with George Harrison & John Lennon, and the 3 of them sharing a laugh. And I smiled despite a few more tears. Thanks, Mike, for being my friend. And to Mike's friends and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

RE: Please click for the Pink Ribbon
JennyLP:
Clicked Relay for Life Events are excellent......I will be attending in May. If you have never attended, try one near by. You can also purchase a Luminaria to honor a passed one or one who has survived......
I second this Jenny! Relay for Life events are so inspiring, not to mention an excellent fund raiser for such an important cause. Oh, and BTW, I clicked.
