Not sure what to say?

To the Borre Family,

Mike will be missed by us all.

Dear Liz, Heather, Michael, and Bridget,
I've just heard about Mike's accident and am deeply saddened for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this very difficult time. Mike's smile and encouraging support was always a great boost for me while I was coaching at the Little League. His life is a tribute to his love for your family. His devotion was unmatched.

To Mike's family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy to you in the loss of your husband and father. I knew Mike when I was his advertising representative for the Kalamazoo Gazette when he owned Ace Hardware. He was very kind to me and a great businessman. He was a pleasure to work with. My condolences to you in this difficult time.

Dear Borre Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. When I think of Mike I'm reminded of the old Berrien Hills swimteam days.

My sympathy goes to Mike's wife and children in Kalamazoo and to the Borre family in St. Joseph. Mike and I were classmates at St. Joe High and Michigan State. I will always remember his ever present smile, raspy laugh, kindness and the powerful gentleman he was. Please accept my thoughts and prayers as comfort. Michael touched many and his genuine spirit was heartfelt by all.

Mike Borre was a giant of a man, not only in physical stature and athletic ability, but with a big heart and love of people, his family and the outdoors. I was fortunate enough to be able to go duck hunting with him and experience one of his passions first hand. I was also there two years ago and saw the smile on Mike's face when he told me that his son Michael had just gotten a hole-in-one at the PAF golf outing on the 8th hole at the Moor's. They were in the group in front of us and you...

Dear Liz, Heather, Michael, and Bridget: I just found out of the loss of your husband/father and am greatly saddened. My heart and prayers go out to you all. His life has certainly been an inspiration and a reminder to live life to the fullest, as he certainly did. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you and your family during this time.

My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to Mike's entire family. Mike and I were old school friends from St. Joseph and I was so deeply saddened to hear of his death. May you find comfort in the beauty of our faith's promise of eternal life by knowing that you will all be together again in heaven some day.
