I am still stunned. Mikey I remember you visiting with Amy and I along with one of your other cousins. I remember the long talks we had, how big of a heart you had with your younger cousins, and most of all I remember how you were always just willing to help. I remember playing chess with you and some of our long phone calls. Thank you for giving a gift of life to others and thank you for the times of joy you gave me. I love you Mikey.
