Dear Uncle Mike:

We are really going to miss you. You were always fun and funny, and our family will not be the same without you. We are left with wonderful memories of being with you. You always made us laugh, and you were the best jet-ski operator in the Gulf of Mexico! You were smart and funny and have left us too soon.

Love from Sumaya and Marielle

Joanne, Nick and Bob,
Please accept my sincere condolences. Mike and I had many memories over the years when we worked together. He kept in touch with me until about 3 years ago when it suddenly stopped. I know he's in a better space now and my thoughts will be with you all as you manage through your grief daily. He was a good man and I feel lucky to have known him.

Uncle Mike,
Though I just recently was able to get to know you and see you again, these past few months were great. I will miss the fun times at grandma's, but know that you're suffering no more.
You will be missed, remembered, and always loved.

Love Olivia.
