Kathy, Jennifer, & Christopher - so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I have so many fond memories of Mike & our young families together. I know he was a larger-than-life figure to my boys. Even though I haven't seen you all for many years, maybe it would be of some comfort to know what a positive impact he had with me and my boys, with his humor and intelligence. What an amazing person to have in your lives. I know I feel lucky to have known him. May you come to peace and eventually sunshine through this difficult time.

Much love,
Chris Clark(the Kispert Boy's mom)
