Hi, Jenny---thank you for having your
guest book online via Facebook. Have
been enjoying reading the sweet notes
so many have sent to comfort you and
your young family. Sorry we did not
get to either the wake or funeral, but
certainly did pray for you after reading Kristen Ruther's comment on Facebook. We know your brother, Jeff
better---but have seen you now and then
due to your CYC connection; and remember your friendship with Robin Rains!!! She and I worked together
at Sunrise Bible Bookstore. We do remember Mike, and glad he was able
to bless so many with his musical
talent as well as his love of Christ.
Know you have wonderful family support
as well as MANY friends!!! God bless
as you carry on with the help of our
mighty Lord Jesus. Caryl & Gordon

Jenny,
Still thinking of you & your family & praying for God's miraculous comfort in such a time as this. Mike made such a cheerful impact on so many lives. God certainly gave him the gift of humor & passion to live life to the fullest. I'm certain those traits will come shining thru in you & your kids. Much love!

Having the pleasure of working with Mike for the past 5 years was so amazing. He had such a way of brightening my day. My memories of him will be cherished always.

Jenny, kids and family!
I pray for you that God's comfort, strength and mercy will be with you during this very difficult time. It was just a few months ago that I was able to connect back up with Mike and was very excited to hear of the wonderful work he was doing in his church and with the lost. He will be greatly missed. But I'm sure that he will continue to reach out to those that have been touched by his generous heart!

I am so sorry to hear that Mike passed away. I have many many fond memories of Mike! He brought me close to the lord through his music & his passion to bring teens to know Jesus. I remember being in the play "A Hairy Mess" Didnt Mike direct that? What fun! And the memories of you being my camp counseler is something I will never forget. I pray that the memories you hold dear & all your friends & family will carry you through this time. Mike will never be forgotten. Heather (Pierce) Basham

Jenny - it seems like just yesterday I watched that charming junior high girl marry a guy who sang to her at their wedding. He knocked my socks off! How charming, I thought, and how fortunate for you to have a man who's crazy in love. And how lucky for him to become a part of your amazing family. You come from a special home and I know Mike must have loved belonging to the Kreis Clan. My thoughts are with you, your kids, and the Kreis family. I love you all and know you will find the strength and support from everyone around you. And, I can only imagine that Scottie was there to meet Mike. You know, they both have a big job ahead of them watching over you and the kids. Love you Jen...Mary Larsen
