Alisa,
My deepest sympathies.
We are so very sorry for the loss of Mike. Your families business has been a staple in our families for as long as I can remember. And I remember my dad always saying what good people you all were. I met Mike earlier this year and we talked for a few minutes. He was so kind and interested to hear what was going on in our family.
Mike and I went to school together. He was slightly younger, but always enjoyed visiting with him. I just saw that he past. Sorry I missed the service. The best of luck to the entire family.
Alisa, we are so very sorry for your loss. Please know you and your family are in our prayers. We wish you inner peace and comfort in knowing many love, care and support you wholeheartedly in the days ahead. Again, we extend our deepest sympathy…??
