  1. Ed, Greg and family,

    How saddened I was to learn of Mike’s passing tonight. Dad called and left a message with Pris and I called him later this evening.

    I am truly sorry for your loss but rejoice in the knowledge that Mike is now in heaven with Marguerite, having joined the heavenly choir.

    I remember fondly our days at Trinity in the MYF and in Troop 3. Ah, what great times those were. We were really close friends, then. I hate that our living so far away has broken that bond. I do, still consider him a friend and I will sorely miss him. His keen wit, his wry smile and his good nature were certainly qualities to cherish.

    I join you in your sorrow and lift you up in prayer and ask God’s richest blessings upon you. I am sorry that I will not be able to be with you but am glad Dad will be able to be there in my place.

    Fondly,
    Daren and Pris Hutchison
