Auntie Virginia and Family:
Our condolences to all of you for this great loss. Uncle Mike was a caring and giving person. He is one of the strongest and most courageous people I have ever known. If it’s any consolation, I know he is with God and not in pain anymore. He will always look down upon his beloved family and be an ever positive presence. May God bless you all and give you the strength he gave Uncle Mike to get through this. I am truly sorry we could not attend the services.

Love,
Mark & Stephanie Martinez
