Our Deepest Sympathy goes out to the entire family. I have very fond memories of Dad's Cousin Mike. I was young but Cousin Mike was one of those people you can never forget.
The Summers at the Cape we always went to see Cousin Mike and his Family first. Sorry for your loss and may God Bless You all.

Please know how very sad we are for this profound loss. Mike was a kind, gentle and loving husband and father to you, Florence and Janice. We have such fond memories of Mike, ones that are long lasting. He will remain in our thoughts and prayers, as will you, my dear godmother Florence and cousin, Janice. He is in the hands of the Lord now, along with others that have passed before him.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Peggy

Dear Florence/Family:
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Mike. I remember the visit I had with you both in Cary like it was yesterday. I can't believe it's been about 10 years since that day. That was a fun afternoon and I'm very glad to have been able to spend it with you both. The timing of me visiting my Aunt Doris in Elkland at this particular time is surreal. I'm thankful that I was here when she found out what happened. I wish you all the courage and strength to find peace and comfort in this very sorrowful time.

Dear Florence, Janice, and family:
I feel so sad about your loss. Mike was such a wonderful person and will be missed by all who knew him. I am so glad my nephew David was visiting me right now from Texas and brought his computer. You remember David visited you and Mike in Cary in the late '90s?? You have my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. My prayers are with you all.

Uncle Mike, you will always be in my thoughts as a kind, gentle, favorite uncle, with a "dry" sense of humor to boot! My deepest condolences go out to Auntie Flo, Janice, et. al. I love you and will miss you, Uncle Mike.
