MIKE'S FAMILY: MY SYMPATHY TO YOU IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW! MIKE WOULD KEEP ME LAUGHING WITH HIS ART OF TELLING LONG DETAILED STORIES! HE WAS A GOOD PERSON WHO ENJOYED TALKING WITH ALMOST ANYONE! IN THE OLD DAYS HE KEPT HIS BASEBALL TEAM'S DUGOUT ALERT & IN HIGH SPIRITS WITH JOKES, LOUD AWAKENING WHISTLES, AND PRANKS! SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS & PRAYING FOR YOU! GOD BLESS!

Charlotte I'm so sorry that words can't even begin to explain what I want to convey. I'm out of town and just found out today. I sure lost a great old friend. At least once a week if I had a little extra time on the way to pick up my grandson from Trinity Pre-K I would drive by your house hoping to catch Mike outside by the carport for a short visit. As luck would have it I only caught him once several months ago. I did get to visit him in Albertsons while my grandson and I were there as he was going out. As you know we had many, many years of close friendship at work and both of us being USN and USMC during Viet Nam (well, you know how he loved to talk military) we would 'go on' forever... So if you need ANYTHING that I can do to help you and your family just let me know and I didn't just say that (I really mean it). I should be home by mid-week, also one of my twins lives three houses up from Meredith on the same side and she knows where I am all the time (I'm her main babysitter). I know that Mike made it to Heaven because I know what was inside him and I pray for you and your family during this very hard time. Love you guys, Freddy.....

Charlotte, you and Meredith are in our thoughts and prayers. We did not know Mike well,but I know he was a great Dad and husband. He will be missed by all. May your family surround you with love and support at this difficult time. We love you! Stan and Dian McSwane

PEGGY I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I WILL BE KEEPING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS. I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR FAMILY FIRST MOVED TO FOUKE AND WE GOT TO KNOW MIKE, AND IN LATER YEARS WE WOULD SEE HIM FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN HE DELIVERED FOR UPS, HE WAS ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND HAD NOT FORGOTTEN WHO WE WERE. I KNOW YOU WILL MISS HIM GREATLY, LOVE YOU ANTHONY AND BRENDA ROBERTSON, FOUKE, AR

Charlotte and family, My heart is breaking for you and I wish I could be there to give you a big hug and let you know that I care. I can't be at the memorial service because of teaching, but do know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. The Lord is gracious to comfort us in these sad times so lean on Him. Love to you. Cindy

Saw Jerry Thomas Friday evening and he told me about Mike. I always liked being around Mike in the days we spent together at UPS. He could certainly tell some stories and enjoyed having an audience to listen to them. It has been several years since I had last seen him, but have thought about him often. Matter of fact, I just thought of him about noon Friday, I remembered something funny he had said once and laughed about it to myself, then heard about his passing later that evening. Just wanted you to know that you and your family are in our prayers. Mike was a good man and I know he will be missed.

Charlotte, Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband. My brother (Steven Skidmore) also sends his condolences. Wishing you peace in the days ahead.

Charlotte, I know you probably don't remember me, but I played softball with Mike for a few years. They gave me the knickname Bruno. I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I am sorry I did'nt keep in contact with him. I thought a lot of Mike. He was a great guy. My prayers are with you and your family.

Mike was a great guy who could always keep me laughing. My sympathy and prayers to his family

Charlotte, we are so sorry and heartbroken for you and your family. We wanted to attend the service today, but could not. Mike was very special to us, and we shared some great memories. Yall will always be like family to us. The last time I saw Mike was a couple of years ago, and we laughed and cut up, like we always did. He always had a way of making all of us laugh. We love you, and you are in our prayers.

Charlotte, I don't know if we ever met but I worked with Mike at UPS for about 15 years. I left UPS in 1989 and I have thought of Mike so many times. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember listening to Mikes tales after a hard day at work...especially on a Friday afternoon. We were all relaxed (having finished the work week) and would enjoy sharing tales with each other. I miss his laughter and the laughter of others as he shared his humorous stories. He was a great guy and he will be missed by all who knew him. My prayers are with you and your family.

Charlotte, we are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers. May God bless you and give you an abundance of grace during this difficult time. With love, Donald and Belind Dennis

Charlotte, I am so sorry! I am praying for you. I love the baby picture of Mike being held my his Daddy Bo with Pa and Mam-ma's house in the background!!! I'll hold on to the precious memories of my cousin, Mike Lay, forever. I love you, Charlotte. Nashville is Home for all of us, and now Mike has reached his Eternal Home. Peggy and Janet, I am praying for you and Aunt Sarah also. Hugs to all of you across the miles, Pam
