Debbie,
You have our deepest sympathies for the loss of Mike. I knew Mike prior to retiring from the Moline Police Department. I also was a Detective/Sergeant and fully realize the dedication needed for that position. The pressure of getting the job done, being called out on evenings and week-ends, and being responsible for major investigations takes a special type of person to fill such a position.
We currently live in Wisconsin and regret that due to previous committments and responsibilities, we will not be able to attend the funeral.
Once again, please accept our condolences and if we can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Debbie, I so sorry to hear about your loss. I didn't realize until today that this was your husband as I was overseas so long and haven't see you in forever. Again, I'm so truly sorry and my prayers are with you and your family. Angie Kistler (DAHM)
