I don't have any specific memories of Mike, only of playing with his kids in our backyard when he would come over to go hunting with you. I do recall Mike was always a happy guy.
I've been told that if you can make it through life with one true friend you are blessed. Mike was a true friend to you and you are better for having him in your life.
It is so sad that Mike had to leave us so soon, but we know he is at peace and no longer sick. Cherish the times you had, for you were truly blessed to have such a good friend.
