Prayers and a request for an added measure of strength and comfort, though our Mediator, go out to grieving family and friends. Mike was a source of guidance and great advice to me whenever I visited with her and Harold on occasion while I was growing up! I can tell you she was loved by not only by her daughter-in-law, Carol, but all who were blessed by her nurturing nature. I am pleased to have know Mike and to witness the love shown to her by her children and grandchildren. Rest well, my friend, until you hear your Masters’ voice!
Annie and I are truly saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with your family during these difficult times. May the many memories of Marquette help you find peace.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Fred & Michele Burgess
To All the Handy Family: Our prayers are with you always, especially at this sad time. May the good memories give you strength to move forward. Love you all! Shirl & Stefani
