Peggy & Family:

I can't begin to tell you how truly sorry I am for all of you. Mike was a wonderful person, very caring. One of the things I will always remember is the half smile on his face and the fact that I can honestly say that I never heard him say a bad thing about anyone. God finally heard your/our prayers and released him from all pain and suffering and for that reason alone, Mike is in a much better place. He's up in heaven with all our "loved ones" waiting for us.

So during these rough days ahead, sit back and remember some good memories of him and I'm sure it will bring a smile to you.

I love all of you and you will be in my prayers and thoughts.



Love, Marilou

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband/father Mike. I know that he suffered for quite awhile and I do know that he is in a better place, at peace, and looking down on you and your family. Always remember the good times you had and cherish them forever. I know that Mike will be doing the same in heaven. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Peggy & Kids:

I know the pain that you all feel in your hearts right now and it's a very heavy feeling. Just remember that no matter how much pain you feel, he is not suffering any more and he truly suffered a lot. Your faith will get all of you through this and you will have all the loving memories to cherish.

Keep in mind that your family now has your own special angel watching over all of you. I'm sure he was right there last night when the newest addition joined your family tree.

The kids & I have been and will continue to pray for all of you.

God Bless and Keep you!

Our deepest love,

Betty, Debbie & Kevin
