Dena, Jade, and Skyler, It has already been said, how grateful we are for the knowledge of the gospel, and at times like these it can be a real comfort. Ken and I remember how much fun we had hanging out with you and Mike. Ken also mentioned that Mike was the one who gave him the priesthood. I am thinking of you and you are in my prayers. Love, Robin

Just started to tear up looking at the wonderful smiling, happy picture of Mike in his obituary. I've been thinking a lot about him this last couple of days and all that he went through in his young life. He was always kind and tender regardless of what he was going through. I am greatful that he married you because you showed him what he was worth and never gave up on him! What a lucky man. I have been thinking about him and Chase and feeling that they will teach each other a lot while at the same time supporting you and kids through this seriously crappy time (well, there is no better way to say that eh?) Much love to one of my longest/dearest friends. Bobuclaw. -julie

Katherine & David: My heart goes out to you sweet souls! I will always remember your very special visit with me in my office and the excitement you shared in knowing that you were truly the "right ones" for eternal companionship together. This temporary loss of your beautiful "Son of Promise" is so hard to bear, I know. Your great testimonies and understanding of Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness will surely sustain you through your grief. I know that the Holy Ghost will comfort you and give you peace "that passeth all understanding". Sincerely with great affection and love, (Bishop) Serge
