Dear Donna, Ryan and Lindy, and Adam and Tracy,
My heart goes out to you, and I pray for God's comfort and peace for all of you. I have not lost a spouse or parent to death yet, but I have lost a brother and I know the wrenching pain you must be feeling. Trust that the pain lessens with time.
Mike will be missed by so many of us. He had such a sweet, almost fragile, spirit and it was a pleasure to know him.
I remember my first introduction to the whole family at a BBQ in Chicago and Mike was one of the first to welcome me. His sincerity and kindness touched my heart.
With love, Debra Kroning

We are so sorry for your loss. We feel so blessed and enriched in getting to know you and Mike through the Bible study. He was such a good role model for my husband, and I really appreciate that. You and your family are in our prayers during this difficult time and always. God Bless!

Dad,
How are you? I know you're looking down on us, smiling, knowing you raised two kind-hearted, strong-willed sons and had a wife that loved you tremendously (just as you loved her). I know you will look over your soon-to-be grandchild, and any and all future grandchildren. I can only hope Lindy and I (and Tracy and Adam) can be as successful in raising them as you were with us. Rest peacefully, and God Bless!
Love,
Ryan
