Not sure what to say?

Dear Catherine,
Sad to hear of Mike’s passing. We used to hang around back in high school in audio-sound systems. He was always a great fun person and had many interests mainly in electronics. A down to earth person. Glad to know that he was with a soul mate to enjoy work and life together.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing.
I work for local government and transferred over from Networking to Radio at the behest of my bosses. Mike was always super kind to me. He was an awesome teacher, in that he always took time to teach me something knew, even though he didn't have to take the time.

Dear Cathy,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the passing of Mike. I knew Mike was ill but did not know of his passing until today. Mike was a great friend and I will miss our phone calls. Dad and I have many fond memories of Mike and Mel and our visits to SF. We will make a donation in Mike's name to the Huntsman Cancer Center at the U of U here in Salt Lake.
Sincerely,
Don and Jim Berry

This was in no small part due to Mike, whose genius for friendship was unsurpassed. There are very few people who can inspire trust, admiration, affection and loyalty as...

There comes a time in all our lives when the people we cherish are stolen from us by death. I'm convinced that the way to allow them to live on is to never stop loving them. Memories are a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose - like a fabric that never fades, no matter how often it is washed in adversity and grief... I feel honored to have known Mike. His passing serves as a reminder to me that my time on this beautiful earth is...
