    I know I speak for the Asher family saying how much we will miss Mike. So glad he lives on through Sue, and of course, James. I will never forget the care he gave my Mom. I knew she was in the very best hands. Every family gathering, you could be sure to be greeted with one of Mike's hugs and kind words genuinely asking how you were. Thank you all for sharing Mike with us. My condolences to his siblings, as well as, Michael John and families. May God bless you all......💞
