    Barb and families, Greg and I are so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. We so wish we could be there to give you hugs in person, but we have plans that were put in place a year ago. Just know that we are here for you and sending lots of hugs and kisses to you all at this very hard time. Love you! Kim and Greg Lindstrom
