From The Noling family
Nicole, I am so sorry to hear of your dads passing. We spent a lot of nights together talking at the mine when i was a hoist man. He was a very good friend and a great father. All he ever thought about was things to make you happy and plans to do stuff for and with you. Everyone at the mine liked your dad a lot and i’m sure they will miss him greatly. And I am so sorry that his time on earth has come, please remember how happy you made him just being there for him and think of the wonderful memories you had together.He loved you more than the world or anything in it.
Nicole, Mike and Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss. My heart breaks for all of you. May God wrap his loving arms around you and carry you through this difficult time. Many prayers are going up.
We worked at Coronet together and you made work fun. I will remember our pizza calls and duck hunting and being in a big bucket up in the air with you driving the forklift then you leaving me there. You were a good friend. The world will miss you!
It’s hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. And goodbyes hurt the most, when the story was not finished. I’m so sorry for your loss Nicole and I will always remember how nice your dad was to Zach and I. Mike will greatly be missed by all . He may be gone from sight but will always be in our heart. Sending my condolences to you and the whole family.
So sorry for your loss Mike was a great guy
To Judi and the McGarry family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in this time of sadness.
