Our deepest condolences to you and your family. We are Christians too and are thankful he is with the Lord. You do not know us but we were on the cruise ship with you.

I never had the honor of knowing Mike as an adult, but I have fond memories of his soft voice & sweet smile as a child. I understand that he grew into a very special man, & I know he will be missed. He holds a special place in my memories & in my heart. My prayers are with all of you.

Dear Debbie and Family,

We were so saddened to hear of your loss.
We just read about Mike's courageous acts
in the paper yesterday. We would certainly have
attended his memorial if we had known in time.
We will come out and see you soon.
We loved having you as neighbors.

In the 10 years I worked with Mike,I am proud and comforted by fact that we became friends. I will always remember him for his kindness, humbleness, and his great sense of humor. My thoughts are with his family and all those who grieve his passing.

I personally have many wonderful memories of my time with Mike and Debbie. We shared many times of fellowship both at church and at their home where they so graciously welcomed us and served us a delicious meal and treated us like we were part of their family. Mike will truly be missed and his love and contagious smile will be forever in my memory. Debbie and her family will be in our prayer.

My deepest condolences to each and every family member. I did not know Mike personally. I do know, however, from conversations with Dolly Land, his Mother in Law and my dear friend, that he was a remarkable and loved person. May God's peace fill you during this time of mourning.
