To all of Mike's Dear Family, We are so sorry to hear of the death of your loved one and our dear friend. Our prayers and sympathy are with you at this very sad time. We would love to be there in person to help show our support to you, but due to health reasons, we are unable. We will remember Mike for all the years of friendship we enjoyed. He was truly a man of honor and commitment to his faith, family, and friends. We will miss him! Love and Prayers, Dave and DiAnna Thingelstad
