Not sure what to say?

I knew Michael when he was 8, 9, and 10 in Spencer, IA. My sister played with Sharon then and we promised to look each other up after they moved. I now have. Sorry not to have talked to him sooner. He was an early friend.

Linda, Matthew and Lauren and family:

I was not able to attend the funeral due to a previous engagement. My prayers have been with each of you and all who loved Michael. I know I have never known a man of greater integrity. His smile told it all to me.
Thank you for the loving care you give him always and forever to come. May each of you be blessed as we recall his history and may you know of his love and care that will still hold on to you forever.

Sister Nancy...

Linda, I was out of the country when I learned of Michael's death. He will long be remembered with a servant's spirit, to which we all aspire. Take care and GOD BLESS!

Rest in happiness and peace, Michael! We salute all you did for the Kingdom and you are greatly missed! Rev. Linda Berry

Linda it is with great sadness that I learned today of your loss. I have thought of you and Michael often since our last visit, always expecting to see both of you again. He was an inspiration to all of us, a great leader. We send our love to you and the family.

I knew it was something special about that man! And now, I know! Thank God for him and many prayers for your strength as you adjust to life without him!

We will miss Michael and Jackson will miss Michael. Linda, we are sending up prayers for you and your family.
Sandy and Mac Temple

Will always remember the great spumoni and cultural contributions, especially how well the museums fared under his leadership.

Praying for you and your family Mrs. Linda Raff
