We were all part of a family there in the neighborhood and school, with each of his sisters being in the same class as my siblings.

Pam and family,
So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Far too young. I could tell how much he enjoyed his family when they visited him at CNR. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. God Bless.

sorry to hear of mike's passing. The last time I saw Mike was at his dad's funeral. We use to go to the Lewis reunion in Creston to catch up on family at least once a year. When we were growing up and had get- togethers at grandpa and grandma's Mike was sooo shy that he would not play with us girls. ( i don't know if it was because he was shy or if it was because we were girls)
