Messages of Condolence
I was saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. Although the time that I had to get to know him (and Doris) was short, I always felt a bit uplifted after my visits. I am sure you will miss him greatly.
Deepest sympathy to all the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Elaine and Jon Szalankiewicz
I was saddened to read of Mike’s passing, I worked with him at the Airport Mail Facility years ago. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He was a good guy.
May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today. At this time of sorrow may these truths sustain you…..your loved one will always be as close as a memory
and the God of all comfort is always as close as a prayer. It will be the little things that you will remember the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memory of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5
Dear Mike and family, I was sorry to hear that your father had passed away. My prayers are with you all. As you know Mike ,I lost my dad in september. I promise you Mike and family that in time things will get better. Just remember that when the sun comes out it will be a hello from DAD telling you all to look after MOM and each other. God bless you and your family Mike at this difficult time. Take Care Ralph D. Lansu
