Michael Rauen

My heart goes out to all of the Rauens over the loss of Michael.

Mike was my big brother and we were very close growing up. We were less than a year apart and shared the same friends in high school. I have always loved him, confided in him and delighted in his wit and intelligence. I will miss him for the rest of my life. Happy trails to you Mikos. I am glad that you are free from suffering now, I celebrate your journey home to Source.

I was so sad and shocked to hear of Mike's passing. He was so young, really, and this must be extremely difficult for all of his siblings.
2 years ago I lost my older brother to Leukemia, and even though I know that he is no longer suffering...it was so difficult for his entire family.
Many years ago, Mike and I were close, not only as cousins, but as friends. I am sorry I had not seen him since the death of our most beloved Aunt Peggy.
I am sending all of the Rauen siblings my...

In this difficult time, may memories of the love Michael had for his family and friends help bring peace.
In moving forward, may the warm light of the joy Michael took from times with loved ones gently ease the way.

Mike was one of a kind. I never met a friend that came even close to being true to his principals and his honor as a human being. I'll miss you terribly.

Michael, may your memory always be a blessing to our family and everyone who knew you.
