I was so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. It was my priveledge to work with Mike and to learn many lessons from him which I regret I didn't acknowledge until later. I learned how to banter (without being shy), wonder/wanderlust, and other lessons too numerous to share.

I would like to express my sincerest condolences. Mike was not only my lawyer but I also considered him to be a good friend, or even father figure. He really cared deeply for those he came into contact with. Mike was responsible for some key, positive, life changing events for me and my family; and he will surely be missed. Kathy our hearts and prayers go out to you and yours.

Wish we had had more time to get to know each other, but now you are with my love Steve, your cousin. I'm sure you are having a good time catching up, and hopefully doing a little fishing.. Sue Heinle
