Daniel Ewald wrote a sympathy message

“I heard of Mike's passage yesterday and said prayers for him as well. I worked for some years when Mike was work leader before moving to Springfield to work at the clinic here. I have many memories of Mike and Doug as well as others from Fayetteville and now in my prayers of Divine Mercy Chaplet as well as other prayers I entrust his soul to God and ask God to help his family in this time of grief. Daniel P. Ewald”
