The news about Mike has saddened me. While I haven't seen him in years...we go way back to high school...we shared a mic in New Life Singers. And there was lots of fun and laughter during those years that I have never forgotten. Mike's gift of song and his smile and dimples are what I remember most. But there are many of you who will miss him in your daily lives...my prayers go out to you for peace and healing. God Bless.

Andy and I met Mike only recently (in the last 6-9 months) - we shared a common interest in billiards. We talked to him in great detail about Christ on several occasions, so we are certain he is now being rewarded for his good works on earth. He was a Godly man who cherished his children - he spoke highly of all of you. We are completely in shock over his death and are deeply saddened that we will not be able to spend more time with him in this life. We are truly sorry to Mike's family and friends for your loss. We look forward to seeing him again in God's Kingdom.

Dear Cathy, Bryce, Andrew, Brad, Miah, Calista, Ron, Doug, Chris, Kara, Kim and the rest of the Etzler and Lee families....we're still in shock over the death of your husband, father, son, brother, and our friend. Mike was a genuine, honest, God fearing, young man...who we've known personally and professionally for many, many years. While we will grieve his death knowing that we'll never have the opportunity to talk to him again in this life, we can take comfort in knowing that he's now been reunited in paradise with his Father (two of them!) and his dear Mother. We thank God for sharing Michael L. Lee with us. May God give you peace, comfort, hope and the strength to endure during this most difficult time. Know how much you're loved. Jim and Vicki Hooker

Ron, Doug, Kara, Chris and Kim, and all the Etzlers and Lees, I just can't get over the shock of Mike's death. This is so surreal. We are all a part of each other's history and his life and death touch me deeply. My family and I will be in prayer for you and yours and rest assured in this: that we will always remember with fondness this wonderful childhood friend. Grace to all of you, Bob, Anita, Abbey Jo & Ellis Larimore
