Wally and Mary Kaiser were neighbors, Mary taught cooking thru 4-H. Danny was a year ahead of me in school. Very sorry to see that Mike has died, my condolences to the family.
I’m at loss for words. Mike was like a dad to me during high school years and beyond when I first met Jackie & Chrissy. He called me his 3rd daughter. 🥰🤟🏼
My family sends our condolences and prayers to the family of Michael Charles Kaiser. 🤟🏼💜💐
There are no words that adequately express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Mike and the profound void that loss leaves for Sue, family Kaiser, and each of us who knew and loved him. May the memory of Mike’s beautiful spirit and his undaunted faith bring comfort and peace to all.
Sue, and girls, I am so sorry for the loss of Mike. What a joy he was to all. I so looked forward to him coming to our Tuesday night bowling. I know he will be greatly missed by all.
