In Remembrance of Mike and Donna

Five years ago we lost two newly found and treasured friends.

I realized, yesterday, that Mike's daughter, Kristina, is a classmate and friend of my son's girlfriend, Gennette. Today, they graduate from Pima Community college as Veterinary Technicians.

I'm sure that Mike is very proud of his little girl.

Mike and Donna, my thoughts remain with you and yours.
