Dear Mary, Kurt and the Quinn Clan, Just a simple thought that goes along with my prayers for you on the loss of Michael..."The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you." I am truly sorry not to have been able to join you last evening for the visitation. An emergency came up with one of our students and I had to stay at school until after 7:00 PM until it was resolved. Please know that, as always, my prayers are with you and yours. Terri

Dear Peg, Dave and Family
I cant tell you, how often Mike was in my thoughts through-out these past few years.
The love you showed him... all that went into letting him know that you all were always there for him... probably meant more to him than he ever told you.
Mike is at peace now... and I hope that you can find peace in knowing that he is in God's arms now.
Love you guys.. Linda and Dennis

TO the QUINN family,I'am sorry for your loss of Mike. It is our loss too!I'am thankful Pat and I had the pleasure of having Mike on some Sundays. He loved sitting on the deck with Charlie and Sadie next to him. I'll remember the good days in Colorado and the crazy days in Shems with Jimmy.Your brothers both had really good friends who cared deeply about them. I hope that gives some kind of comfort to you.Mike will be in our hearts and minds. He never gave up on someday walking and I never heard him complain. For that he is a truly great man.
