  • Uncle Mike was so very special to our family. Many of Bella's children would stop and visit him on their way to Lynn Lake and would be treated so kindly.. and always food on the table. He was a very hard worker... and accomplished a lot in his life time as a farmer. I am proud that he was my Uncle. I will never forget the visits we had and the kindness he has shown our whole family. Thank you Uncle Mike.. and thank you to my cousins.... Patsy... you made his life very easy and special. I know he loved you deeply. And I know your husband was always by his side as well. Thank you Gary. You are a very special man. Margie ... you did your best... you also have gone through a lot and Hank loved his visits. Take care .... and may you have a happy life. I love my cousins... we were never close... but we always knew that we were near. kisses and hugs to you all. - Posted by: Judy and Raymond Lamothe (Niece) on: Nov 08, 2018

  • My heart and thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. Your Dad and Mom were such a blessing to us. We loved to sit and listen to their many, many memories. Our lives are richer for having him in our lives even for a little while. Prayers - Posted by: Audrey Crate (Niece ) on: Nov 07, 2018
