My deepest sympathy goes out to Nicole and Mike's family. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mike had a heart of gold. He was more than a great friend to my brother Kevin Williamson. Kevin loved to help Mike work on his trucks and Kevin thought the world of him. When Kevin passed away in 2002 I remember all of the kind words that Mike had to say about him. When I heard of Mike's passing all I could think about that night was how happy Kevin would be to see him in heaven. I know that this is a really hard time for Mike's family and I just wanted to be able to send my thoughts and prayers to each and everyone of you.
