GUEST BOOK

Cissy- We send you and your family our deepest sympathy with your loss of Michael. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

- Chuck and Ann Frankhauser, Savannah, GA

Cissy and Kathleen, What a joy it was to have Mike in our lives. His smile was infectious and his gentle laugh was wonderful. We all knew how much he loved both of you and how proud he was for each of your accomplishments. He will live in our hearts forever. And we are here with open arms for you. Prayers and blessings, Rick and Cindi

- Rick & Cindi Vogel, Savannah, GA

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Really at a loss for words as this is so hard to grasp. The last time I saw him was at Amanda and Adam's wedding and he was having a good time. Remember all the good times. If you all want to get away and recover, come stay at my house in Fla. Close to the beach, on the river/canals and nature and wildlife are right at the doorstep. Great place to reflect and revive. God's blessings on you!

- Dennis Dittmeier, Cocoa Beach, FL

Dear Cissy and Kathleen, I pray for you continuously in this grief filled time. I pray for your peace. After my Dad died, this really made sense to me. 'At first, all I could think of is how he died' Then, all I could think of is THAT he died' 'Now, I remember the remarkable person who LIVED' He WILL live on in your memories. Wishing you peace.

Dear Family, I worked with Mike for several years at Black&Decker. He was most kind to me at the time of my wife's death some twelve years ago. God's Peace, Don Zurwelle

- Donald W ZurWelle, Lutherville, MD

Cissy, you and Kathleen and your families have been in my thoughts and prayers since I saw the notice of Mike's death in the C.J. Tonight was my first opportunity to find a computer. I am praying God's mercy upon you now and in the days to come. My fondest memory of you and Mike was your wedding. You looked so lovely, even with a fever and Mike looked at you with such love. I am staying with my parents at the farm quite often during the week. Please contact me there if you ever want to talk. love, Barb

- Barb Kaelin Mercer, Louisville, KY

Dear Cissy, Kathleen & Family, Please accept my condolences on Mike's passing.
