Saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a friend since grade school at Lacy and we were tent-mates one year at Boy Scout Camp Olmsted. I was also a patient at Warren Manor this year.I know that he had a long battle with his illness and pray that he may now rest in peace.
Dear Bea,
I was so sorry to read of Mike’s passing in this mornings paper. My thoughts
and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing
he will not experience any more pain and he is at peace and he can now rest.
God Bless you and your family.
