To the Mailhot Family,
Mike had the biggest heart, giving so many people a leg up in life. His family he was most proud of, raising his sons as a single dad into the good men and families they are today. Mike could make music anywhere, anytime, and with anyone willing to share too. We had some of the best times ever. I'm glad I knew the Old Man. R.I.P. Chris
