Today we heard of Mike's passing and are so very sorry. She will certainly be missed by many including us. We will always have special memories of her as a wife, mother and wonderful friend.

Dear Earnshaw Family: I am truly sorry for your loss. It has been a pleasure knowing Mike for so many years - I feel like we became better friends during the past several years when she sold my home so I could move to Houston. She was a very special lady and a joy to everyone who knew her.

Even though she will be missed by everyone here, I can picture her face glowing as she sings praise songs in the heavenly choir.

Dear Jack and family:

I am so sorry to hear about Mikes passing. At times like this so many memories come to mind of when we were all a lot younger. Keep all your memories and remember she is a child of God and that always helps us thru the hardest of times.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Jay and Deb have been a part of our lives for so long that we grieve as though we had lost a member of our own family.

If there is any consolation, let it be that she was assured her place, here and now, was only temporary. Her real joy will be when she is reunited with the ones she loved here in the glory of her Lord and Master in Heaven.

Peace to you and your entire family.

I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Mrs. Earnshaw. As her neighbor at the Condo's in Schererville she was a very kind and caring person. May God Bless all of the family.
