Valerie, Shelly and Reinert family,
I'm so saddened to hear of Mike's departing. He will be well remembered as an exceptional person in his love for you both, Valerie and Shelley, and all the extended family. I don't ever recall seeing him when he didn't have a smile on his face and a little funny line with the chuckle. I still remember your wedding, Valerie, and how in love you were with each other then and have always been too! May God comfort your hearts with His grace and fond memories in the days ahead!
Love, Margee Schwartz Thornton
