Dear dear Zirbel family,

Sharing in your sorrow as you remember Michael. May the happy memories being you comfort, peace and release.
Michael was important. He welcomed us to our new neighborhood in Kenosha when we transferred here with the USN in 1991. I have fond memories when our children were growing up together. “Lots of hacky sac games, football, food and laughter” to name a few.

I’m especially praying for the children as walk through newness of life due to their losses this year.
Take care with love,
Carla S.
