Mike is my really good friend and so is his wife Karon. Matter of fact I call them my San Angelo parents because I lived next to them for almost 10 years. When I had an issue and needed help they were always there for me period. I can’t believe that someone who I met and needed a place to stay got pissed enough to tell a lie on my San Angelo dad!! God does not like ugly and he is not fond of people being cute. Tell me something if her story is true then why did she escape to another state?
