Prayers to all the family and friends. Mike was a "true friend" to us. A term many do not know. We will miss your laugh, your smile and the twinkle in your eye. Peace to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was one of the nicest men I have ever known. He would have done anything for anybody; all you had to do was ask. I am sorry I can't attend the funeral; I would really like to be there. I am taking Joyce Littlefield out to dinner and we will have our own remembrance service here as she is unable to ride that far. Mike was a wonderful landlord and neighbor to her and she misses him so much. I will cherish the time I had with Mike forever and know that God is taking care of him now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless Mike's family and friends.
