This Sunday’s All About Real Estate radio show is dedicated to the memory of Mike Pallen.
Mike was someone who mattered deeply to me. He believed in people, in kindness, and in the quiet power of giving. He lived the very values behind the You Get By Giving philosophy, founded by Floyd Wickman and rooted in a positive attitude, selfless giving, and courage.
One of the greatest honors was receiving the award above from Floyd.

What made it even more meaningful was that it was a complete and total surprise. The night before the award, Lee and I had dinner with Mike, never suspecting what the next day would bring.

When it was announced, I was in total disbelief. I walked up to the stage and took the microphone to accept the award. Instead of saying Thank you, I said,
“Does Lee know?" I heard a yes. "Where the hell is he?” And I waited until Lee entered the audience before accepting.

I needed him there because love, partnership, and sharing life mattered more to me than any recognition.
Mike and Mary were a beautiful couple. The way they loved, supported, and cared for one another always reminded me of our marriage, true-life partners built on love, sharing, caring, and deep respect. Seeing that always touched my heart. Below is a photo of how Mary wanted Mike remembered.
This Sunday’s show will honor Mike, not just for what he did, but for who he was, how he loved, and how he lived.
