Janet, Amy, Kaitlin, and family,
Thought I only had the pleasure of knowing Mike for a bit over 5 years, we grew to be very close friends. We had long talks, but the time was not nearly long enough to learn all I wished to know about him. I will miss him dearly. You have my deepest sympathy. I know that he will never leave our hearts. He has burned an indelible place in mine.
Always,
Al

(I will try to make the service, but I am in NJ this weekend and it will be tight trying to make it back).
“I’M FREE”
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
Dear Amy,
So sorry to hear about your brother Mike. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
With Sympathy,
Carol Corry
