Hello all, this is Kara, one of Mike and Donnas daughters. I would like to thank all of you for the support you have provided my mother with, and the support for our entire family. We all appreciate your kind words, thoughts and prayers. My mom has asked for you to continue to share stories, and keep Mikes memory alive. If you have any pictures or stories you would like to share with our family, you can e-mail them to me [email protected] and I will pass them along to my family. I would like to put something together for my mom from all of you and the wonderful stories you all must have.

Not to often then they were behind me. Mike and Donna were my human GPS more often then not.

I do remember one tour, Donna got us from one place to another....I still don't know how she did it.....

Wow...this my thoughts and prayers go out to Mike and Donna's Family.

I still remember hearing stories of them and my dad meeting this other couple with a cutlass and having competition in 08 of who went longer with the top down, this was before i even joined tour in 09. And i still remember Mike's expression on his face in Springfield in 2010 when they pulled up next to me at a light and asked how many miles we were with the top down and we were over 1000 and they were only at like 500.

Mike you will be missed! Hope you and dad are enjoying yourselves with the tops down in the 442's cruising where it the sun always shining

I have been in shock all day I first read about this when I got to work this morning when I clicked on the thread it was already on the second page and I was trying to figure out who this Mike and Donna was that Chad Reynolds was talking about then I went back to the first page and it was like a punch in the gut. Mike to me was like your best friend, your number one brother and your favorite crazy uncle all wrapped up in one. With those two around you were guaranteed a good time and a ton of laughs.God speed to you brother and may your family find peace in knowing you will always be with them. May you always ride topless because you are the Rocketman!
