Mike Giddings

[Claudia True]

Just got a Facebook message from Jan and she said that Mike passed away last night.  Here's a "cut and paste" of her note.  Do any of you in Georgetown have more info on this?  I don't know Bob and don't have a contact for him - if any of you do, please see if you can find out more, and let us know.

Mike was a good friend of all of us - so sad for his loss but I'm glad he's no longer suffering.

Hugs to all of you -

Claudia, Mike passed away last night. Not sure of arrangements yet. Son was coming for Father's Day. Please let GHS group know. So sorry to send bad news. Contact Bob for info. Son will be in Georgetown tonight. Thanks, Jan.

So sad to hear this news. I'm sure something will be in the paper tomorrow or Monday. Breaks my heart his son was traveling to see him for Father's Day. Mike has had some hard luck over the past few years but was always upbeat. He certainly always enjoyed our reunions and when able was involved in the cancer walk. I would be happy to order flowers from the class once we know more details. I know Mary appreciated them at Carrol's service as did Peggy's family. Think it is a good thing to give our recognition to our loved classmate. Just let me know. Sure we will all be in touch. Debbie

P.S. I'm not checking this email often. Now using dston...@gmail.com but I will look closer over the next few days. Claudia I hate to ask this but can you change my email on the group list? If not that is okay.

[Claudia True]

Debbie - you're always so good about flowers. Do we have a fund for this? Even if we do, it may be getting low. Please share your address so it's easy to send a check if some of us are willing to add to it. I sent you an invitation to join the group again with your new email. I'm not a wizard at managing these accounts - know enough to stumble along but didn't see how I could edit your email address. I think you have to do it yourself?

To All My Wonderful Classmates:

After hearing this news tonight I put in the CD from our last class renunion. Mike was in many of the pictures and was smiling and enjoying the monment. In watching the CD which Carrol's son put together it was like touching base with so many of you. It once again reminded me of how special our class was and is. Love to all.

Debbie

Mike's memorial service will be held in Georgetown this Tuesday, June 19th at 7pm at Gabriel Funeral Chapel. If anyone is sending flowers the funeral home has requested that flowers be there by Tuesday afternoon. God Bless and thank you for all your prayers.   Jan --- On Sat, 6/16/12, Claudia True <ctru...@gmail.com> wrote:

Jan - thanks for the update.  I think it's very special that your son will do the service for Mike.  Can't even imagine how hard that will be for him to conduct the service for his own Dad.  Wish I was there for Mike's remembrance.  He was there for me for a couple of tough times.  This brings up many memories of all of our classmates.  Jan - keeping you and all of your family in my prayers.  

If anyone goes to Mike's celebration of his life, will you please send a report to the rest of us?  I hope we'll all do like Debbie die - think back on the times when Mike was smiling and remember the good things about his life.  One thing I found fun was when we did our sharing of our first jobs and he talked about working in his Dad's grocery story.  I can just imagine the mischief he pulled when he was young!  And how his Dad made him work in the store.  Lots of shared history.  

Anyone else want to share some memories of Mike??

Classmates, friends:
Mike's funeral (not visitation) will be at 7PM Tuesday at the Gabriels Funeral home here in Georgetown. Cathy shared this info with me this evening.
We have funds left over from our 40th (in Glenda's capable hands) for a very nice floral arrangement.
