Dear Mary, John and family
We have lost a sweet, fun man too soon, for us and you Mary Lynn, but God's timing is perfect! You were such a Proverbs wife and helpmeet to him Mary. I enjoyed talking to Mike as we "passed the peace" Sundays at worship or just our conversations prior to it starting. A good brother-in-love to you John. He was so proud of you, his kids. His face would glow when he spoke of you. Sorry I didn't know you. You did bring him joy. God bless you all with the Comforter as you mourn his earthly body. He knew Christ so you will meet again one day
I will always miss and Love my father he was the best father a girl could ever have. He was kind, caring and loving. He had a great sense of humor, he loved to joke around with everyone and always smiling. He loved his family enjoyed spending time with them he's going to be missed. We are lucky to have such wonderful memories of our dad and grandfather. We Love you!!! Michelle, Anthony, Trevor, Cameron and Darci.
I will miss dad.
We will miss Mike very much. We always looked forward to seeing Mary and Mike at church every Sunday. We know you are with God and his angels, and you have no pain.
Had so many great times with Marcia and Mike. He was always laughing and smiling. Peace be with you Mike.
