Not sure what to say?

I served with Mike on NILB just heard about her passing am still in disbelieve. Greg Miller StockbridgeMunsee Mohican. Glen and family you all are in my prayers to Creator in the days and weeks ahead. What a star she was in Indian Country

I met Mike when we were in Jr. High School. We met at Girl Scout Camp, and she was the best friend a shy but adventurous camper could have. We were Pat and Mike (reference to an old Tracy/Hepburn movie). Her character and leadership were in evidence even then and she rapidly became the de facto leader of our camp. We laughed a lot and broke a few rules and never got caught. We tried smoking kinnikinnick (I don't recommend it) and had some terrific adventures. I remember a Girl Scout canoe...

My heart is heavy for your family. She was a part of my work and hockey family . My most treasured memories was hockey party's at my house with so much laughter. Mike was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. I am so blessed to have had a part of her and her family in my life. She left an amazing legacy.

Sorry to here the world lost a great lady. Times with Mike were always fun. Her personality was infectious.

I will always remember the night Peg and I got the phone call that said: "Glenn and Mike had a baby!" Fortunately we understood it. She will always be a cherished member of the family.

Alyssa and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother-in-law. The tribute written about your mother-in-law; what a life and what a loss for all who’s lives she has impacted. May her life and her memory continue to be a blessing.

Warmly,

It broke my heart to see Mike's name in the CDC Email notification of her passing. It has been a while since Mike left CDC Atlanta, but I have very fond memories of working together at OMH. I looked up to Mike for her incredible work ethic, vast knowledge of working with Tribes, determination, honesty and grit. I grew up in a big hockey family and loved hearing her stories of her kid's hockey endeavors and all the excitement that comes from large family dramas; and as Northerners we would...

It has been a pleasure to be a part of your journey Mike while you were working at CDC and I appreciate all you shared and taught all of us. I am sending positive thoughts and prayer to your family during this time.
