To my beautiful sister Marie, my very best friend Michael Jr., my good friend Doug and Wanda. I have no words to express the sadness I feel for your loss. Daddy was such a good, kind and loving man. He was always so thoughtful and would always give a smile away, even to a perfect stranger. His smile lit up the entire room and his smooth character and sense of humor was a breath of fresh air and will be missed. Please know that I am here for each of you if you need anything at all. Wanda I am so sorry that I missed you at the funeral. Your strength during this difficult time is not only amazing but also a true statement of the love you had and will always have for Daddy. May God bless you and the rest of the family.
All my love, Jackie

To Mikes Family: My name is Donna Schrock,first of all let me tell you how sorry I am for your loss!! I started grade school with Mike at Lakemore gradeschool. My name at that time was Donna Conner. Mike, Howard & Roxy Perkins were my best friends. We were the "Little rascils." So many times I drive by Lakemore grade-school with my grandchildren & I say this is where MaMa spent some of the best years of her life. I wish I had stayed in touch with Mike, Howard & Roxie but life goes by so fast. Michael sounds like he had a good life and I am so sorry it ended so soon. My prayers are with you & your family and know that someday you will be with Michael. By the way I named my Youngest son who is now 27, Michael. If only we could go back in time. So sorry for your loss!! Donna (Conner), Schrock, one of the little rascils.

I'm very sorry that Mike had to leave here at such a young age.My heart goes out to all of his family.
Mike touched my life when I was very young in many ways,the largest of which is he taught me HOW to fish!My Dad got me hooked on fishing but Mike taught me HOW to fish!! I use his teachings every time I'm on the lake even to this day.Thanks Man and God Bless you and all of your survivors.

Mike,
Knowing you was a "Beautiful Thing". You were the first person I met when we moved into our new house 4 years ago. Taking out the trash will never be the same. I missed you out there this morning. I hope when I get to heaven that you will be there to meet me and knuckle up :)
Wanda-If their is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Stay strong.
