May your loving memories of your life together comfort you and remember “one day at a time”.

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Mike's sudden passing. Mike was an amazing person, a true teacher and leader. He was such a brilliant man, but never made me feel like my thoughts and time were anything less than his. He could light up a room or a conversation with ease.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all through this difficult time.

The world will be a very different place without
Michael in it. He truly brought "light" to those around him and could turn your bad day into one of hope.

While I've only known Mike for a short period of time, his legacy in the mortgage industry will certainly live on. Mike was and continues to be a huge influence for many. May God grant him eternal peace and wrap his loving arms around his family during this difficult time. God Bless you all.

Jackie and Family,

I was so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

HE IS NOT DEAD...
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you--oh, you, who the wildest yearn
For an old-time step, and the glad return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
Think of him still as the same, I say,
He is not dead--he is just away.
by James Whitcomb Riley
