Mike's sweet, if mischievous smile will be forever missed and we'll always remember his gentle spirit.

It goes without saying we have lost a man with a kind/gentle heart. God has no greater gift than LOVE and Mike was all about it. It will be hard to continue our class reunions without him. It feels like we have lost a fallen soldier. Lost, but never forgotten. We will miss you beyond belief. My thoughts and prayers are with the Komorowski Family.

It's not too often one comes across a person as unique as Mike was. His dedication to his craft inspired me to be better at mine. Every now and then we are fortunate to have aquainted ourselves with the "pure leader" who sets the example for others to follow. I'm glad I was fortunate to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Komorowski Family, as he will be greatly missed by many.

We lost a wonderful man. I was fortunate enough to enjoy good times with Mike in high school and college. A considerate, outgoing, and caring person who was a great storyteller. I have tears in my eyes now but every once in a while a smile breaks through as I remember a Mike story. My prayers go out to the Komorowski family. If there is anything that I can ever do for you, please call.

Dearest Komorowski family:

Mike was "one of a kind". A friend from high school; a friend for life. We shared many memories together, especially the times he spent trying to teach me to fish. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel.

Dear God, bless the entire Komorowski family during this difficult time. Keep Lori, Jenny and Rachel close to You!

I mostly remember Mike as a blur out of the corner of my eye, as he was always rushing about, making sure everything was running smoothly. He was an excellent supervisor, patient & kind, taking time to explain things & free to say "good job". Dedicated to work, he still had time to talk proudly of his family or share a good fishing story. Mike, you will truly be missed!

Charlie and Mary Van Avery

When Mike died, a cloud turned into an angel and flew up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow.



A bird gave the message back to the earth along with singing a silent prayer that made the rain cry.



Loved ones disappear but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in circles. Sometimes you can see them in a cloud.



They paint the rainbows and the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes, and when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us......Don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine.

Bob and Varetta Powers

Dearest Ones, The day will come when your tears of grief will softly become tears of remembrance. Hearts will begin to heal, and episodes of joy will will interrupt your sorrow and you will hear a tiny whiper of hope.



Someday you will look upon these tears of remembrance as a sunshower of your soul.



A time will come ever so slowly when you will go on believing and treasure the tears of remembering.
