Hello, Kathy! I am so sorry about Mike's passing. You must be just devastated. Ginny contacted me on Saturday to inform me of the tragedy. From what I have been hearing through Ginny of your and Mike's wedded life, it sounds as though it was nearly as picturesque and memorable as your wedding night, the beautiful snowfall being illuminated by the bright country club lights piercing the inkblack darkness - a night truly to remember! AS you adjust to life without Mike, try to recall all those good times - they will sustain you and help you move forward. It will not be easy, certainly, but our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of unexpected sorrow. With deep sympathy, Tom and Marian

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for our loss of Mike. He has been a part of our family for more than the 39 years you've been married. Mike was kind, patient and generous to us all. Mike taught us how to ski, he wouldn't give up on me till I was up and running! I'll never forget his boating games--Never. Kathy, you and Mike accepted me into your home for days which turned into months--thank you both. And all the family gatherings you two hosted! So many memories. Kathy, I know Mike will always be by your side. Be happy for the time you had together and his memories will help you though this. Colleen and Jeff, I know he loved you both very much, he was always so proud of you. I know we will all miss Mike very much. Love, Mary
