To the McDermott family.
How sad for you to have lost Mike.
We have very fond memories of him.
He was very kind, loving and considerate to Andrea throughout their time together and gave her some very special times when she was so unwell.
It was very touching of Mike to come over to attend Trev´s funeral.
He was a wonderful person.
Rest peacefully Mike.
Thinking of you all.
The Davie family.

Remembering lots of fun and laughter in Mike´s London days- always there with a big smile (and an offer to polish off whatever was left on your plate- a giveaway of coming from a big family)! A lovely, lovely bloke. Very happy to have known him. My deepest condolences to all Mike´s family.
