Dear Harold, Cyndi, Lynette, David, Allison, Michael and family--Betsy and I were so sorry to hear of Mike's untimely demise. My parent's, Walt and Maryanne, join us in extending our sympathy to your family. We have shared so many good times together from the time that we were kids swimming at your house on Jackson or riding horses, to all those gatherings for celebrations of significant events to watching the kids from the next generation playing soccer or baseball together. It has been quite a journey and your (Wife/Mom/Grandmother) was a part of it all. Our prayers are with you.

Mike was WELL LOVED by all the club members and especially the servers in the dining room at Chaparral Country Club. We enjoyed having MIKE as part of the regular Wednesday night and Thursday night dinner crowd. A favorite of mine personally was the joyous look on her face when she would repeat the CHEER from her cheerleading days in Hemet where she went to High School. Already, we miss her so much.
