Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized...

Mike:

You took on 6 sisters along with your wife and managed to earn love & respect from every one of us. I remember I did not like you much when we first met; but you grew on me "Mr. Science". Mike you tuned my guitar for me, kept me from giving up playing, you rented your apt. to me, you held my hand when my Daddy died, when my children needed help I could not give, you gave it, when my husband left me...

My Only Love
(Ferry)

Do I ever wonder?
More than words can say
Heaven knows it's hard enough to
pray
Let me tell you something
There's a change in me
Even now your're gone you'll
always be
My only love
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning of goodbye?
There's a river...

I wish I had known Mike better. I was able to stay with Leslie and Mike during the last couple of months. Whenever Mike needed help, and I was the one to respond, he would look at me and grin that grin of his, because he knew I would have a hard time figuring out what he wanted. But he never lost his cool with me, and we usually worked out what he needed. Our whole family will miss him.

Dear Leslie,

we have not seen each other for so many years, but somehow the time with you and Mike (and all the others in the same little weird community) in Korea never seems far away, there is always some small thing to to make you recall a moment that we shared. The other day I was looking at a photo of Mike in your flat in Okpo, very not-amused looking, with Isabel in his arms and a milkbottle poised. I am sure you too remember that one.
How sorry I am to know, for sure,...

Although we have the hope of the resurrection and Jehovah's love and mercy--it is still a great loss for all when we lose a friend even for a short time. Our loss,however, cannot compare to yours, Leslie and Robin, so please accept my condolences at this time. Mike, will always be remembered as a very gentle and kind brother.

Spring Branch Congregation

It is one of life's miracles that someone can come in and out of your life so quickly, yet leave footprints and memories in your heart forever. Mike truly is your miracle. Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of a truly kind and caring person and know that though we can't be there in person our thoughts and prayers are with you and Robin.
