Mike's humor - video and photo

One of many many many things I love about Mike, is his silly humor. This video and picture was taken in July 2009 during family reunion in Florida. You will see me video recording as mike taking picture of me (making fun of my 1970's sunglasses - made me laugh when he was mocking me).

If you do have videos of Mike, if possible, try to upload on youtube and let me know by comment with a link to view the video clip on youtube, then I will put on this blog.

More to come after my return from Costa Rica.

A short update from Cathy

Hello

As some of you are wondering or asked around to find out the cause of Mike's death. It is still in pending eventhought autopsy and physical foresenics, still waiting for pathology n lab results as it may take weeks or couple months before they come back then finalize the report. It is a long process especially off shore. I will be sure to post any updates.

For now, I would love some pictures or videos of Mike from friends, if you are Mike's friend on facebook, post pictures or videos on his wall then I'll copy n post on this blog.

Thank u for reading

From Mike's sister

Friends and families,

With heavy heart, I thank you for your generous comfort and support. It is so good to see how much people loved my brother Mike. Some of you are asking questions, such why Mike is in Costa Rica, etc.

Mike loves the tropical place and enjoy seeing new places, meeting people and culture. He moved to Costa Rica in year of 2008, I think. Mike travels often to the states to see friends and families.

The cause of the death, as to this date, is still under invesgiation as it takes time for tests and foresenics to turn around. I will be sure to post once I know the cause of his death.

I have set up the memorial fund to help with all expenses including a memorial service I hope to hold in Seattle sometimes soon, maybe in Spring when the weather is more nice with flowers and all. If you want to help with fund, feel free do so.

I do have many wonderful and loving memories about my dear brother Mike. I will post some more in some posts later including pictures, etc. Feel free to comment anything you like about Mike. I would love to hear from any of you.

With much of love, Cathy
