    Dear Mary, I’m so sorry about your Michael. You’ve been on my heart since I moved. Praying for you especially now and asking Our Lord to give you endurance. You have always been a wonderful friend to me and so many others. God Bless and I love you.

    Mary, I am so sorry you lost your husband and so disappointed that I was not able to express my condolences in person. I came to Qcy for the service, thinking I knew where I was going, but even after trying to follow directions people gave me, I missed the service. You, Michael, and his family are all in my prayers. Please give me a call when you get a chance. Thanks!

    Remembering Michael and family at this time of loss. I worked for his parents at Doc’s Air Park Restaurant 1957 to 1960. Great memories.
