Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni. Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever. Thank you Michael for your service to this nation. U.S. Marine Corps, Vietnam.
I miss you Uncle Mike everyday. I love you forever! I will see you again in heaven!❤️🙏😪
I had so many fun weekends as a child at your home while you and Renee were together. Thank you for all of the Dairy Queen Dilly Bars, my first BIG steak of my own, motorcycle rides, trips to Joy Land, roller skating, etc. I remember “Chainers” your Afghan Hound, and later, Lucky, your German Sheppard.
I hold you in my heart Mike and I hope you are getting all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat up there.
Love,
Barb Kramer (Mierau)
