This day always makes me incredibly sad. I forget some people's birthdays but Oct 12th is always there, reminding me of Mike and his family. What a great guy. Gone way too soon.

I think about Mike quite often, at least a few times a month. Each time I do, I say a prayer for you, Susie, and for Michelle and Lucas. I remember the time I bought the Wendy's meal ahead of you, Susie. At the next Men's Breakfast, Mike insisted on paying for my meal. He was such a steady rock and whenever he spoke, everyone always stopped to listen to him. I really do miss him. I know you all must still grieve, but I hope God has brought you some peace and filled your memories of the good times you had with Mike. Barb and I wish we could be with you for this remembrance, but we live in Florida now. You can be certain you will be in our thoughts and prayers on this anniversary and always. God bless you all.

I am so happy you were all able to spend some time together in Australia. We really enjoyed getting to know you while you were at Mountain Creek. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we seng big hugs to you and your family.Wrap yourself in the warmth of your memories. Our love to you all from us both. Jenny & Ross Helmore

Thinking of you.

Mike was a very special guy. What started as a business relationship became a friendship over the years. I can honestly say Mike was one of my favorite people to speak with. I thought he was quiet, until I got to know him better! He was knowledgeable and open minded on many subjects. Our conversations would begin about agriculture but always stray to a variety of other subjects. I will miss those conversations. God bless you Mike and your family.

Mike,it seems that you were taken too soon from your family and life. God has bigger plans for you in Heaven. I will always cherish the fond memories of you, in our youth with Roy,pulling on my braids on the hayrides in this fall weather and the bonfires, or sitting with you during a basketball game at WCCS in the 8th & 9th grade. I loved your smile and your humor back then. That is how I will remember you.
Mr. and Mrs. Krenzer,I can't imagine losing a child, my heart goes out to you both as do my prayers. Susan,Karen,Chris,David and Kathy, I don't know what it's like to lose a sibling, but I feel for you and my heart and my prayers are for you also. You are all a close knit family like mine. God and your faith will help you thru. May God Bless you all... and Mike, Godspeed in your journey and save a spot on the haywagon for me when I get there!! my love and prayers to you all...
