Hello All,

We want to send a gigantic thank you to everyone who is RSVPed to Mike's Memorial/Celebration of Life this weekend as well as for the photos/memories/condolences. Those pictures are so incredibly precious.

A couple things to note in advance:

There will be food served at the Celebration of Life portion on Saturday (following the church memorial)- there will be BBQ/sides as well as vegan chili and dessert.

There will also be a point during the Celebration of Life to share stories/memories- we wanted to let you all know in case you need some time to gather thoughts/ideas. We would really love to hear some of your favorite memories of Big Mike.

Lastly, there are some sticker burrs on the property where we are holding the Celebration of Life. We encourage you to wear closed-toed shoes to avoid getting pricked by these.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday.

Mirjam, Mariah, and Mikaela
