Aunt Julie and Family,
Bob and were saddened to hear of Uncle Mike's passing. He was a great Irishman. We enjoyed his stories and great wit. My sister, Peggy, told us he had a grand send off.
Love,
Bob and Annie Eichhorn and Family

Julie and Family,

With our sorrow upon hearing that Mike died.

He was the first Irishman I met when I came to Chicago. We worked together on and off, he was an easy man to work with. I enjoyed his easy ways.

We went to mass this morning for Mike.

My vision does not allow me to drive distances.

With sincere sorrow and pleasant memories.

Dear Aunt Julie and family:
I can't believe our Uncle Mike is no longer with us. What a loss for everyone. He was a man who truly loved his family...a what a large family it is! I know there is much sadness in Kilkerrin today. He was a prince. We will always remember his kindness and unmatched sense of humor.
Love
Queenie, Bob, Liz and Mike

Julie, I think about you often and wonder how you are and where life has brought you. I am sorry this is how I found you. I am sorry about your dad. My dad died 20 years ago. I know this is a difficult time for your family. You can e-mail me if you want. Take care of yourself. Karen Boone
