Thank you for keeping our family in your prayers as we pivot and move Mike's celebration of life up to Everett, WA. Although Patrick is not cleared to travel, we are grateful that his surgery went well this week and appreciate the continued prayer as he gears up for cancer treatment in the coming weeks/months. Thank you for those of you who are able to make the trip to be with us, and we will be posting a recording of the service for those of you who cannot.

Michael's Service will now be held at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Everett, WA. Later in life, OSLC was one of the few places where Mike felt at home and at peace. Mike was known and loved by the staff there - he was welcomed throughout the week while his grandkids participated in preschool, music lessons, scouts, choir, & Family and Friends Gathering. We are grateful that Mike's life will be honored in a place where he was so beloved.

The Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 am in the main sanctuary. A reception filled with music, food and memories will follow in the fellowship hall.

In true Mike fashion, he’d want this to feel more like a reunion than a farewell — full of laughter, stories, and love. We look forward to celebrating Mike with you.
