Michael T. Rowles

It's been a year Dad and I've missed you every single minute. I am glad you didn't suffer in your final days and am so incredibly grateful for the gentle way you left us.
I miss your voice Dad, your laughter, your advice, kindness and the many nuances that made you so special. We are taking care of Mom and she misses you deeply. She talks about you and has reached out for you, so we know you are holding her hand. She'll be with us for a while Dad, so please keep her heart filled with...

Many of us in Oregon who know and love Kate, feel like we know the whole family from the tales she has shared. My heart goes out to you all. You are in my thoughts. I hope you find comfort and peace through the wonderful memories you have of your father.

Having lost my father last Nov. my heart and prayers go out to Kate and Liz and the rest of the family during this difficult time. May you all find peace and healing through the love of our Father.

I too did not know Mike, but after knowing Kate and hearing many of the stories of the Rowles Clan, I say well done Mike and Margaret! I appreciate the hole your Mike's passing will create, and I hope that the gift the memories of laughter and loving together will help to fill that hole just a bit.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Kate's Dad, she talked about him with such joy, love and enthusiasm. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rowles family now and in the days to come.

I am so sorry to hear the news of Mr. Rowles passing. Knowing Kate makes me think he must have been a wonderful person.

Margaret, Many times you and Mike came over to the house to play cards with my parents. I will always remember you and mom telling the guys to get the crying towels ready because they were going to loose. We could always depend on the two of you to come right over on Saturday afternoons when I would call and say the bread was out of the oven. Five mintues later and you'd be at the house. I can now picture Mike and my dad, together again, trying to see who can tell the most outrageous...

Mike was a great guy. Mike had a good joke, a story, and laugh, and words of encougarement were always at the ready. Warmest sympathy to Mike's family. Ken Caseltine 3M

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Michael, but know of him through his daughter Kate. I have also come to know a bit about Kate's wonderful mother and siblings. Having recently lost my father, I understand what a diffcult time this is for the immediate and extended family. My thoughts are with each of you.
