You all are in my heart and prayers. It had been so very sad to hear those news. I had the most amazing times playing guitar with him in 2006-07 at Peace Lutheran church. All is family and friends are deeply into my prayers. God Bless you all, sincerely, Roberta

Mike was a close friend of mine and his loss is sudden and shocking. He was a rare specimen - disarmingly honest and extraordinarily kind-hearted. I'm sure your congregation will greatly miss his musical gifts - I find comfort in thinking of the incredible music he's making now. Lauren and all of his family and friends are in my prayers. See you on Wednesday. -JB

Lauren - our hearts are so heavy for you in your time of sorrow and loss. I know that words or gestures can't take your pain away but what we have found as comfort through our mourning of loved ones is that God needed them more than we did even though selfishly we want them here with us. Praise and celebrate the wonderful life that Mike had and treasure all of your memories of him as that will keep his spirit alive!! I love you and am here for you ~ Always.
