HILLIS, Mike (Bart):
We have shed tears because you are gone, but we also smile because you are our brother. We close our eyes and wish you are still here, our heart’s are broken, cos we can’t see you, but our heart’s are also full with precious memories that will never die. Through life you have done everything at your own pace, never in a hurry, never got angry, never held a grudge. But hell Mike, on Tuesday “Boom”, and we never got to say goodbye. You are and always will be in our heart’s.
Our wonderful brother Rest in Peace with all our love from your sister’s
