We are very saddened to hear that - had hoped that the earlier tests would indicate a good prognosis for recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, let us know if you need anything.

We have moved to a regular room and Mike is resting comfortably. The room no. is Joseph 3G-175 and the phone no in the room is 507-2874788. We have more room and a large window to watch the snow falling. Your thoughts and well wishes are greatly appreciated and help me to keep going. I share them with Mike, but he most likely does not comprehend. Love you all.
Peggy

That was a rough day. A few minutes later Don flopped 20 yards away, Rob sheared the steering arms a knuckle while trying to recover the mini and I broke a rear axle...... Great times for sure  .

I can't tell you how enjoyable it has been getting to know you and Mike. I'm going to miss him, glad we were all able to hang out at Gator.

Words can't explain how I felt after getting home today and reading this.
Peggy and Rob, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mike, I'll see you on the trails when I get there. Hopefully I'll be able to wheel as well as you by then.

I am so sorry
When we first started showing up at events, I remember that Mike and Peggy were some of the first strangers that helped us feel like we were part of the group. There was always a kind look or funny comment when Mike was around! I wish so much that I could say something more profound about a great person like Mike. We will miss him.
Craig, Mandy, Will and Mary Kate
