Suzy, I am so sorry for your loss! Chuck and I are so grateful for when you and Mike came to DE to help us finish enclosing our carport, so we could provide Tabby and then-baby Addison our bedroom as their new living area. (Addy turns 23 this year!) We were also very touched when Mike drove you to Lynchburg, VA, to see Sawyer graduate from college. I know that it meant a lot to Sawyer that you guys made that trip.
You were such a welcoming person when I married into your family...

We send our most heartfelt condolences to Suzzane and Michael's family. Dale and I only met him once and even for the short time we spent with him at The Gaithers' home, we got to "know" what a good man he was.

I know that words are inadequate at a time like this, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. Suzanne was such a diligent and committed Purchasing Manager that I had four phone numbers in my contact list including Mike's cell so that I could reach her 24 7. Mike and I ended up having many phone conversations over the years. He always made me laugh. Mike had a terrific sense of humor especially when it came to TB. Lifting Suzanne and family in a prayer.

Jimmy and Mikey I am so sorry for the sadness and grief you are going through with the loss of your dad. Mike was such a good person. A friend to everyone and he would do anything to help. Just look at what everyone called him (Pop’s). That is a testament to what kind of person he was. Loved by all. You all are in my thoughts and prayers and Suzanne so are you. You and Mike (Pop’s) fit together like 2 peas in a pod because you are such a good person also. You all take comfort in knowing that...
