Anita, Josh & Hillary & Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mike was a great friend, had a positive outlook on life, and a never-give-up mentality. He always shared his love for his family when he was with us; you were such an important part of who he was and you gave him so much joy.
Know he will be missed greatly, and we look forward to meeting again in Heaven!
Love,

Anita,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, Mike. I am also sorry for your family's loss of a Dad, Grandpa, son, and brother. If there is anything you need or anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Mike was such a wonderful person! He always had a smile on his face and had a bright out look on life. He was such a blessing in our lives! It will be hard thinking that his smiling face won't be with us here on earth any more, but we know he is in a much better place and we look forward to seeing him again! Our thoughts and prayers are with his familly! Love you all!

Ivarson Family,
We did not know you well, but we did know Mike through our business team. He was such a caring person. His smile and thoughtfulness will be greatly missed. May God bring you comfort through this difficult time.
