    It is with a heavy heart that we write this note. Mikey was so full of energy and always had a smile on his face. While only the good die young, he was way too young to leave us all. We are comforted by all of the memories that we had with Mikey on the Bristol FS team. We extend our heartfelt condolences and want you to know that you are in our prayers.
