Michael E. Lay

My prayers are with carol and family. May you find peace and understsnding. God bless.

Mike and Carol have been wonderful neighbors for 13 years, and we'll surely miss him.
Love, Mary Jo & Jim Dunn

Mike, you and Carol (it is hard to think of one without the other) welcomed me with such warmth when I married your brother. There were pool parties in O'Fallon to annual Christmas parties wherever you lived, and generosity throughout the decades that define my memories of the person I proudly call my brother-in-law. And such a salesman that you actually got Ron to sing into a microphone with you. LOL And I know you have a great joke for St. Peter before the gates of heaven open to accept...

Deepest sympathies and condolences from the Borrok family.

Mike, we were so very fortunate to have you as part of our family for so many years. Joining the clan at 16 and staying the course for all the good and the bad, you were always there, strong and caring. You gave so much to family and friends that I know God will receive you with open arms. We will remember so many good times with you and Carol (esp. Geezer's Weekend, Christmas parties and all the spontaneous get togethers you had for family and friends). You brought joy to so many and...

My brother, you will be missed beyond words. We had plans that we didn't get to, though your spirit will constantly be with me. Thank you for all of the good times . I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life. Love you, brother.

So many wonderful memories of Mikey - at the lake, on road trips, playing golf, just having a cocktail and laughing ourselves silly. Mike, you will be missed more than you ever dreamed. And how blessed you are to have Carol by your side all these years - a wonderful, loving, caring, and giving adorable wife. Our hearts are sad - we prayed so hard - but we will see you again.
