The day I first met Mike on line, he said, "hello Cali-Angel, can I fold my wings and sit next to you?" From that day on, we sent over 3000 emails to each other until the day we met in July of 1997. Our love story will always be a cherished memory of mine. He was extremely witty and intelligent but his heart was so pure and true and his love for animals and all things living, plants...he had a wonderful green thumb. We had many pets together and I know that he is waiting for his special boy Pip to come home some day too. Mike taught me how to love animals, led me to the Lord and encouraged me daily to walk in His light. I still have my gold cross that was my first gift from Mike ever. He will forever be part of me, inside my heart and mind and I know that he is now watching over his family and friends as the nurturing, caring person that he was. I will always miss him but am so grateful for our 13 years together. Christina Sanford
