Brian, I just heard the news this past weekend. After the initial shock, my first thought was of you. Although I haven't talked to Mike in years, I just rememeber him making me laugh. I can't imagine what you and your family have been feeling these last few weeks.
I pray you remain faithful that family and friends will keep you strong and get you through this. You are in my thoughts.

I have cultivated many bonds with many people in this life; men, women, fraternity brothers, Marines, friends and acquaintences... None as true as the bond I shared with Mike. My wife Lucie and I, both, shared many a serious talk which, inevitably turned humorous, with Mike. Lucie and I share your grief in the loss of Mike. As you have lost a son and loved one, we have lost a big brother...

To Mike’s Family
While it has been many years since high school Mike remains fresh in my mind. I spent 4 years with Mike playing football and becoming great friends –from locker-room antics to hard work, and I can’t remember a person who I shared more good times with. Mike was loyal, sincere, compassionate, and had mastered the art of making others laugh with him. While it has been a long time since I saw Mike that certainly is my loss and I will miss him greatly. Sandy’s thoughts and mine are with you.

To Brian Sampson & the Sampson Family,
I am truly sorry to hear the news about losing Mike. Having been fortunate enough to have known him, both in the fraternity and as a friend, I knew that he had the infectious ability to bring a smile to someone's face or make a whole room laugh. He most certainly will be missed and never forgotten.
