Hard to believe that it has been this long. I still remember our football games in the muddy lot two doors down from your house and three from my grandparents in the winter of 1969-1970. Pray for us down here.

So sorry to hear this. I went to 4th Grade with Mike at Miller Elementary School and his parents were next door neighbors of my grandparents for decades. I remember playing sandlot baseball and football on a vacant lot a couple of houses down the street. I pray that he will Rest In Peace and that all of his family will know the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

Sincerely,

Fr. Steve Dundas, Commander, Chaplain Corps U.S. Navy

Dear Morris, Janet and John,
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother Mike.
Please know that your and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow, as well as the days, weeks and months ahead.

John 14:1-3 "Let not your hearts be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
And whither I go you know, and the way you know."

Jesus, is The Way, the Truth and the Life

May God Bless each of you.

From an "old" Charleston Avenue friend.

I knew Mr. Veazey for a short while; I was one of his son's teachers two years ago. His love and support for Grant were obvious as soon as he stepped into the room. My condolences and prayers go to his family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing and long battle with cancer. I knew him from years past when I worked at Cushman & Wakefield. He was a very nice man who was always kind. It was always a pleasure speaking with him when he would have an appointment with one of the brokers for the company. Prayers for his family.
