I have never met Michael, but I work at St Francis hospital. My thoughts are with the family.
I so miss you Mike. Your humor was the best. It sure made work a whole lot easier. Everyone is now singing your yellow submarine.
Love, Jean
Mikey, there won’t be a day go by that I won’t miss you like crazy, and remember your unbelievable wit. You were always able to put into six words what I would blather on and put into paragraphs. You and I will always know the truth. Thank you for the wonderful life gifts you gave me while sharing space on this planet with you. Lovingly always, Linda
Dear Donna and Chuck,
You have been through so much in recent days. I can’t imagine how painful it must have been to process all of the details when you were dealing with your own grief. You handled everything amazingly well. I know that you have more ahead of you, but I hope that you can find time to rest and take care of yourselves. I felt honored to have a part in Mike’s grave side service. It was so good seeing you both again, though we wish it had been in happier circumstances. You both will be in my prayers. Gary Stabbert
I spent 20 years of our lives with Michael. I miss him every day. I dream of him as if he were still alive. It breaks my heart that you died this way, that you died period. Anyone that knew you experienced your amazing intelligence and brilliant humor. I’ll be seeing you someday, Mr. B , Denese
