To Cousin Mary:

Stan and I extend our deepest sympathies to you, Steven, Louise, and John and all of your families.

I remember the fun we had at Martin's Pond with all the cousins.

To Mary and Family,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of my favorite neighbor. Even today as I passed by the house on my way to Mom and Dad's I looked over to see if you were in the yard. I will never forget your roses or the wonderful person that Mike has always been to everybody in our neighborhood. He will forever remain in my heart, I loved him very much. All my love and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Peter and I can only hope to share as many wonderful years and memories as you and Mike had together.
With much love,
Krista, Peter, Tyler and Abby Lewis

Mary,

We were deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing. We were away the time and regret not being able to attend the services. We will miss Mike very much and will fondly remember him as the wonderful neighbor that he was. Going to and from the bus stop will never be the same for the kids.

We look forward to seeing you though. If there is anything we can do to help please don't hesitate to ask. We are right next door.

Debi, John, Heather, and Connor

I can imagine that Mike is praying for us from that eternal choir in which he now celebrates our love of God. We will always miss him, his positive attitude, and friendly smile.
God bless you, Mary, and family as you gather to honor his life.
