Page Stowers Foshee lit a candle

“In loving memory of Michael W. Ramsey, Dear Michelle and Wayne: Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Mike was sui generis - "one of a kind!" Having worked with him since 2005, I respected Mike. His integrity and industriousness were matched only by his booming voice. He worked in some dangerous, economically deprived neighborhoods, yet all he would say about the mineral owners he dealt with were compassionate remarks, revealing his strength of heart. I already miss him.”
