I'm so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. We went to school together and graduated in the Frontier Class of 1984. I saw Mike at our 25th Reunion this past summer. He enjoyed being together with his friends and seeing classmates he hadn't seen in years. We will miss Mike and pray for your family to be comforted.

Dear Wertz and Regan Family
I am SO very sorry to hear about Mike!
Thinking of you and asking the Lord to strengthen your heart and comfort your souls. In sympathy and continued prayer may God's Love, family and friends carry you through this difficult time of grief.
During high school Mike and I and the rest of the Locksley Park crew spent almost ALL of our free time together... (too many fond and cherished memories to recall here now...)
I regret not having been able to stay in touch with him through-out these many years...
Mike was & always will be a wonderful friend. He will always be in my heart and prayers.
"May the Lord draw you close to Him
in this time of sadness,
May you feel his tender comfort
with each tear you cry.
May you sense His loving arms
around you and His gentle voice
whispering to you,
'You are never, EVER alone'"

May God Bless keep you...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
