Today we sat in a resturant in Big Spring, watching as your family and friends came together after your loved ones funeral. He would have been proud to see you all there. We saw you as a very remarkable family to whom I am very sure he was proud to be a big part of. We will remember your family during your time of great loss. We know there will be hard days ahead but just know you have friends and family to carry you in the days ahead. We saw that evidence today....What a wonderful testimony you gave....

To George, Jerri, Debbie, Steve, and all of Mike's family We were so sad to learn of Mike's passing. Even though we do not live that far apart, we have not put out the effort to keep in touch and know the welfare of your family. Mike looked so much like George and his obituary described him with a very similar personality and smile. We trust that knowing you have family and friends surrounding with love and concern will help you to make it through these dark days. Just know that our Heavenly Father will give comfort and consolation unsurpassed and we can all lean on him when our hearts are broken. We love all of you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days. Our love, John and Carolyn Redding

Ricky Martinez left a message on April 8, 2009:
George,Jerri , Debbie & Steve I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Mike and I were friends and I have many good memories of Mike. When I found out about Mike's condition I called him and told him some things I wanted him to know. What Mike said to me in return the very last time I talked to him was vintage Mike. He was playing golf and was taking a break. He told me he was beginging to feel the toll of his sickness. MIke followed that by asking me not to feel sorry for him if I wanted to feel for someone I should feel for his family. He was very concerened about Mom Dad Debbie and Steve and expreesed his love for each and everyone of you. I figure he told me that in confidence but i decided to share that with you. Mike loved yall very much as you all did him. May God bless ya'll in your time of sorrow.

Dear Willis Family - My heart goes out to you on the loss of such a great son, brother, and friend. Mike was so special to me and I have great memories of him. I will miss those beautiful blue eyes and great smile! He always had a smile on his face no matter the circumstance. Mike and the whole family have been in my prayers since I heard of his condition. I pray that you will be comforted by God's spirit and that you will find peace that Paul describes in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I'm sorry I cannot be there today, but please know what a special man he was. I will miss him! Love you, Sonia
