In Memory of Michael Jones

We lost a dear friend last week to cancer. Words can't describe how much we will miss Mike. He was so full of life, and such a joy to be around. He was truly one of the most selfless people we have met. Till we meet again Mike.

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
