To Adam, Kate and the rest of Mike's family ~

I worked with your dad in Exeter, RI and also saw him in trainings after your move to VT. Your dad was a really good man who personified kindness and was always willing to lend a helping hand. And he loved you dearly. You were always part of the highlights of his conversations.

Fondly,

Dear Kate and Adam,
I was at rehearsal tonight when I heard about your dad. On behalf of the entire QNEK family and on behalf of the audiences that were blessed to see your dad on stage, we extend our sincerest sympathies.

Thirteen years ago I lost my dad and know too dearly how difficult it is to lose a father. It leaves a definite void in your life. Your dad was so proud of both of you and reveled in both of your accomplishments.

I will always remember your dad 's performance as Big Julie and Big Daddy. Your father lived life BIG and was an asset to our theatre company.

I pray for you and your family that you may find comfort in God's love and strength in the support of your friends and family that surround you at this time.

God Speed,
Lynn Leimer, QNEK
