Hard to belive its been a year already.
Mike & the Kisers were our neighbis growing up.between our 2 families there were 12 kids... I have many great memories of Mike he was in my Class at school and our graduating class of 1974.. he moved away after joining the military and only had a chance to see him one other time when he came home on leave with his beautiful wife Vivian. As I had moved out of state. I was able to keep in contact with him on FB.
Thank you for your service.
To our Nation.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family on this one year anniversary.

My deepest condolences to all loved ones left behind.
I knew Mike from school. Always a very sweet and kind person.
We shared a bit of kinship, in finding we shared the same last name. Although spelled differently. A dear school friend, remembered fondly.

Viviane, we send our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family at the loss of your husband and to Andy, Jeremy, Léini and Mia on the loss of their father and grandfather. We are so happy for the month long family vacation we had last year visiting with all our families and childhood friends. It was a trip never to be forgotten. Mike was a funny and loving brother and I will miss him greatly. My husband and sons truly loved him and enjoyed his company and stories.
Though he will be missed he will never be forgotten!
All our LOVE to you and your family.
Karen & Jim, Ben & Jen, Aaron & Jess and Kelly Batey
