Dear Lena and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. A wonderful man and great mechanic who bailed me out of many a jam. Now that he is in heaven, maybe he can convert that VW Bug he use to talk about into a lawn mower with the 5' blade. God bless you all. Ginger & Tom Kania (digger Odell)!

Dear Aunt Lena and family, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Mike's passing. I have such great memories of happy times at your house with my boy cousins as we were growing up in Windsor Locks. May these memories and others like them keep Mike close to your heart forever. Love, Sue

Lena and family,
We are so sorry to read that Mike has passed on. We just left CT on Tuesday, and have arrived in FL, so we cannot come to see you in person and express our sympathies.
Mike was always the best at servicing our fleet of vehicles. We certainly missed him when he retired.
We will miss his smile, and friendly greetings whenever we met.
Our prayers are with you.

Lena and family, this is a sad time for you all. Your family unit was very special and Mike's passing will be a big void in all of your lives. But there are many memories of good times that you will now share and knowing that you are surrounded by loving friends and relatives will help to ease the loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you today.
Love, Pat
