Uncle Mike

Yesterday we celebrated the life of my Uncle Mike. I drove up from Indianapolis on Friday night and we had a nice time on Friday night with the family.  It was a beautiful fall-like day on Crooked Lake in Northern Michigan Saturday.  We laughed, we cried, and we toasted a very kind man. One story that was consistent throughout the day is what a sincerely nice man Uncle Mike was. Even at the end of his life where he was very sick, he said he was not suffering - the people of Syria are suffering. What an amazing perspective from an amazing man.
