Mikey, You will live in my heart forever. For everyone that knew you as a friend they became a better person through your example of what it means to be a true friend. You helped so many people out in this world that heaven is now a better place because you can show them how to take better care of us. Heaven knows they needed you! Those higher ups always get their way, now it's your chance Mikey to get what you want done. Your loving sister, Cookie
