Jenny,
Mike and I shared a common alma mater and a love for our Carytown neighborhood. I will miss the enjoyable chance encounters with Mike in the neighborhood. His unfailing grace and the strength of character he displayed under the burden of his illness impressed me greatly.
My deepest sympathy for your loss, Tom

Dear Jenny,
We were so sad to get word of Mike's death. What a joy he was as a person and what insight he gave to everything he was involved in.
You two were such a beautiful couple. And I will always remember one time when he talked about your 10,000 watt smile and how much he loved it.
Our thoughts and many prayers are with you in this incredibly impossibly sad time.
May you see God's comfort, peace and grace somewhere. All our love, Jack and Marilyn (in San Diego)

Jenny,
How saddened I was to hear of Mike's passing. My mind went immediately to my first days at H&W when I met that kind, warm and gentle soul who touched my heart in a profound way. That was Mike . . . a man whose heart went deep, which I know must make the loss all the more profound. My most sincere condolences, Jenny.

Dear Virginia, William and John,
We were saddened to hear of Mike's passing. May the Lord hold you in his loving hands and guide you through this difficult time. As cousins we saw each other infrequently, but mike was always ready with a bear hug, a wide smile and an interesting story. He will be missed.

Jenny, Mike and I are in Chicago this week and have just heard of your Mike's passing. We are devasted for you and the boys. Mike was a wonderful mentor to lawyers, friend to many, father to his sons and husband to you. We are all blessed for having had him in our lives. Our hearts are with you even though we cannot be there in person this evening to remember Mike with his other friends. Love, Linda and Mike Rigsby
