Mrs Denicke,

My name is Chris Battle General Manager where your son Mike works. Our thoughts and prayers have been with and your family since the passing of your husband. I enjoyed listening to Mike tell me how close he and his dad were. Unfortunately many men can't say that about there relationships with there dads. I can tell the kind of person that Mike is that he has tremendous character and that he gets that from his parents. I don't want to say I know how you feel because I do not. However, I do know someone who does and that is our Saviour Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:13 SAYS "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." I have to use this verse a lot. I hope it will be some comfort to you.

Sincerely,

Chris Battle

Thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I so enjoyed his softball updates when Kaitlen was pitching! He was the first person to tell me the expression "then the wheels fell off" haha....such a wonderful person. Loved his grandaughters so much. He will be missed.
