We can’t thank all the nurses, aids and others involved in taking care of our loved one enough. They were angels sent by God to take care of Mike. We would also like to thank the National Cremation Society in handling the final details for us. Thank you to the two gentlemen that came and picked our loved on up the night of his death. They were the most caring and professional individuals.
