To Inga, and Shelley, both of whom I have seen lovingly taking care of Mike - I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed his quiet dignified presence when he attended the TripleA seated exercise classes, always persevering with a focussed smile and determination. A courageous effort every time. He will be remembered.

To Inga and extend family please accept my sincere condolences on Mike's passing he will be truly missed
