    So sorry to hear of your loss at this most trying time. I was a little surprised to hear about 8 grandkids now ( I remember .3). That kept you all busy so you have those times to cherish for years to come. Stay connected with one another as best you can to get through this. Each day will hopefully get better.

    I was sorry to learn that Mike passed away. I knew him from working at the V.A. I also had golfed with him at V.A. outings. He was a great person and an excellent employee as Chief of the Voluntary Service. My condolences to the family. I know he will be greatly missed.

    I will miss Mike so much. He was a golf buddy for 40 years and more than that a special friend. Mike loved to laugh about old movie comedy lines. He loved his family and grandkids so much. We worked together at the VA for several years. Maybe in heaven he can shoot that even par round of golf.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you especially, Linda and your entire family.
