Dear Sally,
I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I have many good memories of EHS ,Mr Steak, and MCC. Over the past years I have thought of you both and wondered how you were. What a valuable lesson, to appreciate people when they cross your mind and not assume you will have an opportunity later...
May GOD bless you and your family with peace and understanding as you thank him for a life well lived.
Very Sincerely,

Jody Jacobs

Sally, Adam and Emily:
What a wonderful celebration of life the service was for your beloved Mike. I felt I knew him through your words and song. To Adam and Emily - I was your age when I lost my mother to cancer. She was 47 years old. When others may not know what to say to you, continue to celebrate your father's life and talk about him often. You are the continuation of who he was and be proud of all he accomplished and all he meant to you and you to him.
Bless you all and may God continue to comfort you at this time.
