Mike embodied so much of what each of us wishes to be. In the time I spent with your family I learned that he was a man who lived his dream and tried so hard to make each day special. He may be gone from us physically, but if we can keep him alive in our hearts he will never die. --Your Family Service Counselor

Jammie I was so happy for you when you had finally found that special someone in Mike. You were blessed to have the wonderful years together you had and the many many happy memories. I am so glad we had the opportunity to have some dinners together and get to know firsthand what a really great guy Mike was. It was so obvious how much he adored you!! You are so special and loved so much and just know that you have many shoulders to lean on at anytime. We love you.

Mike, I'll always remember how happy, joyfilled you were on the day of your marriage to Jammie! That was the only time I met you, I believe. Your smile went from ear to ear! You were sooo visibly happy 'n moved by the thoughts of being married to the love of your life! I will always cherish those moments of that beautiful day at Pismo! I know you're sooo happy in Heaven. Love to you! Auntie Colleen

Little did I know that when I said "good bye" to Mike a week ago that it would be the last time I would see him on this earth. Although we never got to know Mike well, we loved him because he loved Jammie. We will remember Mike as a sweet, gentle man with a shy smile who stole Jammie's heart. His leaving has made us very sad, but our faith is in the Lord, who says, "Let not your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In my Father's house are many rooms. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-4

We will miss Mike always . . . and to you, Jammie, you must keep the faith and carry on till that day when we will all see our loved ones again. Jesus' promises are true and His faithfulness is everlasting. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

We love you, Jammie, and we are here for you.

I meant what I said when I gave my toast at your wedding; Jammie finally got the guy right! Same sense of humor, same love of sports and animals, and the same love for one another. You are and always will be the love of Jammie's life and you will forever hold a place in our hearts.
