Dear Family,
I knew Mike and Diane from the early 1970's when Diane and I both worked for C&S Bank. What a great couple.
My deepest sympathy.

Mike Ford
The world is a better, kinder, softer place because you were in it. Always a perfect gentleman, loving and giving, sharing and caring, putting others needs before yours, being a friend in good times, bad times and all in between. You possessed the attributes that drew people to you and made us want to be in your company. You were generous to a fault.
I think if our days at the lake, the trips we took together with you and Diane, the awesome meals you prepared for the gang on Sundays, the delight we took in being gathered around your table for fun and fellowship. Thank you for yhe precious gift of your friendship to me and Benny. We both loved you and I look forward to the day when we will meet again around a table never to be parted again.
Godspeed Mike.
