Dear Esther, I was shocked and saddened to learn of your husband's passing. I'm at a lost for words, which for me is almost impossible, but I feel so bad for you and your daughter I just can't seem to come up with the right thing to say and how mere words will help. You are a dear friend and I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts until we can meet to talk. Love, Marian the Librarian

Esther and Abby I am so sorry this has happened it is hard to believe. I will miss all his sarcatic but humorous remarks. And all the knowledge he always gave! He was a talented and smart and funny! I will miss you dear cousin! May you rest in peace and look upon your family from above!

Esther, Abby , Robyn and everyone who loved Mike - he was simply the best - loving, kind, smart, funny and good. I am broken-hearted over his loss. Paul and I are grateful to have reconnected with Mike but the world is so much sadder without him. Mercy on his loving soul and blessings to his family!

Mike and I were close friends for around 50 years. It is hard to believe that he has shuffled off this mortal coil. In retrospect, over the past half century of our friendship, I don't believe that I heard him speak badly about another person nor did he ever waver from his inherent optimism. The world is a lesser place today without him in it.

We never know the curves life throws out way. Pain sometimes fade but memories never do. Thank God that you and Mike gave Abby a loving home. She will be your inspiration through these times.

Oh, Esther and Abby, we are heartbroken for you. And for this whole crazy world, to lose a man of such intelligence, wit, talent, and depth. You two had his whole heart. And I know he's already made himself at home in your hearts, where he'll guide you for the rest of your lives.

Mike was a dear friend in Carbondale and I had the opportunity to meet Robin at that time also, but not his other relatives. I never knew anyone to have anything, but kind words, to say about Mike. I am very saddened to hear of his passing and have only wonderful memories of our friendship! Condolences to all of his family and friends.

My friend, I had no idea you were ill. Thank you for all your gifts and forgive my shortcomings. May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep your heart and mind in the knowledge of God. Share a joke with God, he needs a good laugh these days.
