Lisa,

We were up at the Lake this weekend and heard the news about Mike. We didn't anticipate the news at this time. We are so sorry. We were reminded though how much Mike lived life to the fullest each day, enjoyed being at the Lake and most of all - loved his family. How true. Know that you are in our thoughts and let us know how we can help.

Dear Bigley Family
We're so sorry to hear about Mike. From high school days, his early years as a father to Shannon and then as a husband to Lisa and father to he boys, he was a joy to know. I've learned many life lessons about love from the whole Bigley family and I know that Mike was the caring, kind man, generous of time and spirit that he was, from all that he got from all of you. He was always smiling and quick with a joke or to listen to everyone. We will remember him and all of you in our prayers and if we can help in any way, please call. God Bless and keep you all.

Shannon: I am so sorry about your father. I enjoyed spending Grandparent's Day with him at Clayton's school just a year ago. I was about your age when my father died, also of a brain tumor, so I know the grief you are feeling and my heart aches for you and your family, and for my little Clayton. I know how Adam cried when his Grandpapa died when he was just six years old. Know that the grief will pass and lovely memories will happen in their place. Please tell Lisa I am sorry for her loss. God bless all of you.
