Jan & Family,
I wish there was something I could say that would ease the pain of Mike’s sudden death. It has been a few years since I saw him, but I will always remember the childhood relationship he shared with my brother, Phil. Mike was funny, easy to talk to whenever our paths crossed later in life and an all-around great guy. I am so sorry for your loss, but I pray the wonderful memories of Mike give you and your family strength in the days ahead.

Words cannot express how much I miss you. You were funny and kind hearted. Would have been there at the drop of a hat if one of would have needed anything. Life isn't going to be the same without you. I light this candle in your memory. Love and miss you Mike.

Dear Carey and family,
There are no words that can express the sympathy and heartache we feel for you, nor can we completely understand the level of pain the loss of this wonderful man means to your family. We love each of you and are here in any way we can be.

Jan and Family,
We are so saddened by the news of Mike's death. We didn't really know him but we both remember meeting him at Charle's wake....he was so personable....and we were both struck by how much Charles meant to him.
We are going to be in Vermont for a wedding so we will not be able to attend either the service or the wake...we leave on Thursday but our thoughts will be with you and your family. We are just so sorry.
Larry and Sue Waefler
