Condolences
Our sincere sympathy
Please accept my heart felt condolence. I remember Mike, his brothers, his sisters, aunt Lillian and uncle Mike very fondly as we grew up. Our times visiting the Towber family are magic. I lost my wife Judy to cancer one year ago and grieve in sympathy to your great loss. I plan to attend tomorrow to honor Michael. My brother Don works for Pepperidge Farms and wishes to attend, but will not be able to attend due to company policy. Our love, thoughts and sympathy are with you and the Towber family. Love Ken Bedrick
