Maryanne and Peggy.

Glenn Nelson notified me of the obituary notice, but we didn't see it until after the funeral. Just went to another one last month (Sitman Thompson). Very sorry to hear Mike is gone.

Though I did not know Mike very well, he always had a smile and a hello for me when I arrived at the plant. My sympathy to his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

Oh Mike,

I will miss you so much! Who is going to give me a kick in the butt and tell me to stop feeling sorry for myself when I get down? Who am I going to go to lunch with? Who is going to remind me to call Tammy when I wait too long to call her? I know you'll probably continue to give me good advice from up in heaven - I just wish I would have had you on earth a little longer. I loved you Mike - I'll miss you! Tracy
