Dear Family, Friends and Loved ones:
8-11-2004

On behalf of Mike, The Crew and myself; thank you for your support
during this time. Each and every visit, card, letter, flowers, balloons,
cakes, cookies, brownies, photos, T-shirts, phone calls and other
countless and wonderful gifts have brought us tears of laughter and joy
when we needed them most.

Mike passed away last evening peacefully, without pain, at home
surrounded and held by those closest to him. My wish and hopes are for
each individual to remember Mike as the bright, energetic, gentle and
the strong man he is and will always be in our hearts. Many have
traveled short and great distance to be with us over the past few months
to celebrate Mike’s life, and that could truly be enough. For many whom
may feel the need to travel to Central Florida for a service; please
understand you have given of yourselves already. The love for Mike and
me from all is unquestioned.

The illness was very aggressive so those who may have not had the
opportunity to come by; again I invite you to hold your most memorable
moments high as possible and let the light that is Mike Adair shine and
illuminate our path.

Love Annie, The Gang and Mike’s Spirit.

Mike will be cremated. A time, date and place for a Service will be
announced forthright. Please forward to those you feel appropriate.
