Sally I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. You will be in my prayers ❤️
To my dear friend Sally and the entire Zaricor family, at a time like this, there are never words enough to express sympathy for the loss that so many of us feel so deeply. Mike was a good man whose family meant everything to him. He was a devoted husband and father, and more recently, a grandfather and Great-grandfather. He was a brilliant physician and a mentor. To many of us, he was a wonderful friend and confidant. He was a guy you could always depend on for a laugh, a good word, and a shoulder when you needed one. He was dependable and trustworthy, down to earth and true blue. I will miss him greatly.
Rest well, my friend. Until we meet again…
