Thinking of your whole family during this difficult time. Mr. Michalsen was always so kind to me, my brother and sister. We were lucky to have such a wonderful neighbor growing up in Elmhurst. My prayers are with you Mrs. Michalsen, Roger and Marvin

My deepest sympathy goes out to you Aunt Lois, Marvin and Roger. My father was especially fond of his brother Harold. Those two had the craziest sense of humor. He's got a lot of good company up there in Heaven. May God bless you all.
