Dear Mr. & Mrs. Garner, I grew up with all of your sons, but Mike and I were probably the closest. I had not seen Mike since around 19190, until recently I was running into Him at the Kensignton Safeway. I was shocked to read His Obituary and was Sorry to be out of town (dealing with my own family crisis). I want to send my deepest Sympathy to the Family and will always treasure the Good Memories Mike and I shared. My Prayers are with you all. Don "Big Don" Willett.
