To Mike’s family;
What a great guy. I have a lot of memories of hanging out with Mike in Lancaster and in Ocean City. I was very surprised to hear he was sick and upset when I found out that he had passed away.
When I think of Mike, the image that comes to mind is one of him smiling and laughing – that’s how I remember Mike.
Again, what a great guy – I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with Mike.
-John Henkel
Dear Klara, Maria & Barbara:
My very deepest sympathy to all of you. It was so good to see Mike (over at Mary’s) this past year and a half after a long absence. Last summer I was driving down the road and came right up beside him. Our windows were down and I yelled "Hey Bynes!!" He looked over and flashed that huge smile of his. I will forever hold that picture of Michael in my mind. Please know that many thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Ann Gallagher
To Mikes family,
It was so sad to hear of Mikes passing, it was quite a shock. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Mike and I sure had us some times living and working at the beach. I have so many memories of our antics with the many friends that came into our lives.
I will always remember him with his big smile and happy disposition, he will surely be missed.
Bless all of you
sincerely,
Jay Felker
I am so sorry to to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to you because losing a loved one is never easy to endure. No doubt that during this difficult time, friends and family will be a pillar of support to you. Also know that Jehovah God is an endless source of strength and power who can and will sustain you through this loss. Know that he has promised to "swallow up death forever and wipe tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) And in the future there will be a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." (Revelation 21:3, 4) Death and suffering will be things of the distant past. God has promised.
