We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all our family and friends who supported us during Mike’s illness and passing. Thank you so much to the nursing teams, physicians and staff with the Mary Jane Brown nursing home and to Hartquist Funeral Home. They took special care of Mike and me, and our children with the kindess and compassion during this trying time in our lives. To our friends and family, your support and love were our strength. The outpouring of condolences and kindness was a big source of comfort to us also. We are thankful for your presence in our lives and in Mike’s journey.

With deepest appreciation,

The Family of Mike Kochel
