I'm deeply sorry to hear about Mike. He was such a great guy. I remember our trips North to Buhl for the 4th of July. Chris and I would get out of the car, say hi to our grandparents, and then head over to Mike's house. We'd drive around in his brown truck listening to "Crazy Train". We never had a dull moment with Mike! I'm sure he's up in heaven with my Grandpa Guidarelli talking about the great competitions we had during the 4th of July Family softball tournaments. Our prayers are with the Ogrezovich Family during this tough time and always.

Our thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult days. We were all priviledged to know and take care of Michael at the chemo center. We will all miss him and think of him often. You're in our prayers.

I was very sad to hear the news of Mike. We all know that we need to walk thru that door someday, some sooner then others. He is with God now with no pain. So my thoughts & prayers are with you during your time here before you all can be together again.

Michael and I shared stupid jokes with each other at work. I always loved to hear that big laugh of his when I really got him with a good one. You know him, though, he typically had a dozen more than me ;). I think Ogre would have liked this:
Question: Why does love happen between two particular people?
Answer from a child: "I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest isn't supposed to be so painful!"
Mel - my deepest and sincerest condolences to you - Michael adored you so much - you were the love of his life. Whenever he talked at the office of both you and Hailey it was with great admiration and pride, first of his upcoming wedding, and then after your marriage that pride and adoration was so evident when he would speak of you just about day to day things and what a great mom you are. While you definitely got “shot with an arrow” I'm so sad that your life together was cut soooo short and that you’re experiencing the painful loss of your husband. You will always be loved by Michael - and I count it a blessing to have gotten to know both of you and share a short part of this temporary journey with you and Michael – my prayers are with you for strength and peace.
I John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Best regards to you,

My thoughts are with you all during this rough time. I have endless positive memories when I think of Mike and his awesome family.
I remember the time I had Mike, Mark, my brother Tony and some of the other neighboring kids put on their cheap plastic football gear so I could coach them in to beating the tar out of each other. Even at that age you would know when Mike put a hit on you. The pads did more harm than good. And who could forget when you owned the restuarant in Buhl. It was always a battle to get Mike and Mark to clean the fryer so I usually had to do it myself while Mark did nothing and Mike cooked us pizza.
I remember my visits to your place in Indiana. I was a pretty good golfer at the time and there was one particular day when Mike was soundly convinced he would beat me. I laughed on the first tee but then sure enough he played out of his you-know-what and got the job done.
Eventually, we go our separate ways and lead lives that may not include each other but that doesn't change how much your family means to me.
It is Mike's honor forever. God Bless.

I just heard about Mike through Georgia Kostich. We both live in Moorhead. It is hard to believe when someone so young is taken. It's heartbreaking. I can tell you babysitting for Mike and Mark was always interesting. I loved the challenge. They kept me on my toes. Your family was good friends and neighbors for many years. I hope Zoe and Jim are catching up with Mike in heaven right now. I'll remember you all in my prayers. God Bless!

I knew Mike and Mark best when they we're babies and young boys. What a shame that Mike was taken at such a young age. I guess God has other plans for him in Heaven with Him. Milan and Judy I can't imagine your pain please accept my condolances. Mike is now in a better place, pain free.
Love,

What can I say that so many, much more eloquent folks, have already said? Mel, thank you for letting me have one last Blues Fest with Mike.

My heart goes out to the entire Ogrezovich family. I never got to know Mike except for meeting him on one other sad day in your families lives. On that occasion I was impressed with, not only how "krupan" Mike was but, what a nice guy he was.

When I think of Michael,I think of a large man with a big heart and a larger than life personality. I learned so much from him about business and accounting while he was working at Flagship. He made me grow, whether I wanted to or not! He valued his family so much and his time has been cut short. May the memories he left behind give you peace.
