Deepest Sympathy on your Loss - from Texas
Anne and family, I would like to send my deepest sympathies to you on your loss. I was in total shock when Dawn told me about the loss of your new husband. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the Linhard family. May God give you the strength you need to get through this.

Thoughts from Annie
I'd like to thank everyone who has posted something here. I truly appreciate the support and love that friends and family have shown me.
Mike, as I called him, Michael to his family, has taken a huge part of me with him. Intellectually, I know time will heal that, and I'll endure. I won't be the same, but I will be me.
I doubt anyone can know how Mike changed me life. He taught me to trust, he taught me to accept at face value, he showed me what a relationship could be when two people wanted the same things, and were willing to "make adjustments" in order to have them together. Mike completely supported that my girls were top priority, but he understood, I love him as much as I love them.
My sympathies
Helen-
I am so sorry for your loss- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Please know we are here for you if you need anything.

I would like to send my condolences to you and your family during this time. Allow the good times and laughs that were shared, to bring comfort and peace.
Mike and Annie
I will remember Mike's sarcastic wit, and the way he and Annie teased each other over dinner at Wyncote. Their vacation pictures and stories were the best! Annie, don't be a stranger, I missed you guys.
Blessings, Bev
