Aunt Pat and family;
Joanne and I would like to express our sincerest condolences on your loss. Uncle Mike was a fine man who cared about his family and will be sorely missed.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend his service on Thursday as we moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last month, but Mike will be in our prayers.
May you find peace in knowing that he is in Heaven with the rest of his brothers, sisters and parents.
