Such a sweetheart, always smiling and joking, we always enjoyed when he would drop by. No matter the time between visits, Mikey would dive in for a hug and talk about things that have been going on. He spoke often of his love for his family and friends, for his school, his Country and how God took care of him.
Love & prayers,
Linda & Charles Karr

Prayers for the family. Mikey was a funny happy student at Oark. I was the librarian and I can't say he really enjoyed reading but I loved to talk to him outside of the library.
