Uncle Mike, thanks for the awesome memories of the trips that we were able to take when I was a kid. We sure had some great times and for that I’m so grateful. You were the coolest uncle, always made sure I had the newest toy when you’d visit. As I got older, you always made sure to call and check on me, and if you didn’t hear back from me you’d keep bugging until we talked and we always had a good laugh about that as well. I will always be indebted to you for the t-shirt that I threw up on when I was younger, and you have never let me forget that. Someday we’ll meet again, and I’ll have that t-shrt for you. For now, you’ll live in my heart and memories. I’ll miss you and always love you!
