Our sincere condolences!! We remember Mike coming to many of our family gatherings, just being amazed of the size of our family, and trying to figure how everyone was connected. We also were happy to see Mike & Brenda with their vintage car in many of the New Liskeard and area parades and him having a grin ear to ear!

Dear Brenda; As a member of the Class of 1980 I send you my condolences on the passing of Mike. Over the past five years you and I have communicated a great deal about what Mike, yourself and family have been going through. I appreciate those emails and the confidence you had placed with me in sharing. Please accept my sincere condolences and let there be comfort in the peace that Mike is experiencing now and allow the unquestionable love you had for each other shine through the sadness you are facing now and into the future. Mike is at rest now, no more suffering. I am certain that he now wants you to get your own rest from the many years of struggles and pain. Please be advised that I have made a memorial contribution to the Multiple Sclerosis Society as suggested, in the hope further research will help others who have a struggle with it. Take care Brenda. I look forward to our continued emails and my thoughts are with you during the time of visitation and the funeral over the next few days. Sincerely, Peter H. Lang Class of 1980

To the family of Micheal’s.It’s with great sadness that the news of Micheal’s death has occurred I first met him when he was just a toddler, a handsome baby he was.His aunt Marie- Claire adored him and showered him with gifts. His life on earth has paved his way to a better life with God on the final judgement day. I pray to God to receive him with open arms and be given an extra Crown for his suffering on Earth. He weathered it as long as he could for the benefit of his family and for the Glory of God. Sincere condolences Jean-Guy D.
