Our sincere condolences to Rich and all his family. We have wonderful memories of Mr. Baids during our family gatherings and were always impressed with how healthy and active he stayed for so many years. He surely lived life to its fullest and enjoyed being with and having his family always so close.

George remembers fondly what a good man your father was. What a small world this is indeed. George served on the council with Mike at St Mark's Lutheran where we too were married 27 years ago.
It is no wonder we learned quickly to love Sylvia without knowing you were Mike's daughter.
May God wrap His arms around you during this difficult time.

We have many fond memories of Mikelis, especially of our days at their cottage in Three Rivers - gathering us all each evening around the campfire, which he always prepared. I'm so glad I had the chance to see him in January, while on a visit from Michigan.
With love, sympathy and prayers
for all of his wonderful family.
