Mike was a man who believed in tough love and strength, he pushed those around him to try and motivate them to be the best person they could be, I truly cant explain the love my mother terry sarckees and him had together, to stay with someone who had brain surgery(terry) to an individual as sick as he was for the last year of his life. Its more like movie love compared to todays spciety and thats just one major visual impact I seen from the two of them. My prayers and blessing go to my family as well as the sarckees side...You are loved and missed and will never be forgotten and thank you for taking care of my family the best you could, I cherish the times we had and I know that you are watching over us.
