To the Family, My prayers and condolences to you all during this difficult time. Mike and I, was in the same class at Ben Franklin elementary school. He was a nice guy who always greeted me with a smile. I just saw him a few months ago while I was at the red light at Second and Market. I rolled down my window to say hi. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross, not knowing that would be the last time I saw him. I was devastated to hear that passed.
Rest in peace, my friend. Jeannie Franklin-Woodward Harrisburg High Class of 1984 classmate
