Born and raised at Hearn's pond, I was 5 years younger than Mike but I was friends with Donna and spent a lot of time at the Griffith home. I remember how much of a car enthusiast Mike was, and boating around the pond. We all also spent a lot of winters ice skating and summers were spent swimming. A lot of memories at Hearn's pond that I would bet he and my sister Kathy are laughing about now. It's those of us who are left here that bear the pain of the loss; those that cross over are now joined by those that crossed over before them, free of pain and worry, now just happiness and peace. My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Griffith, Wendy, Debbie, Donna, and family.
