Paul and Jo Mikula were the best possible neighbors and fellow citizens one could hope for. Except for the family and friends they leave behind, Lansing would be a lesser place with their passing.
We will greatly miss Jo's flowers and the scraping of her shovel on a snowy morning, and the tooting of friend's horns from passing trucks and cars when Paul was sitting on their porch.
