Dear Mike Strow family,
 I was a high school friend of your father's. I was very sad to see his picture in the obituraries tonight. I had seen your dad within this last year at the college where I work. He wanted to take classes again and we talked about what we were both doing now. We showed each other pictures of our children and talked about what each was doing. It was obvious how proud he was of all of you. I'm sorry you lost your father at such a young age. He was a special guy with a great smile. Take care.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Seth, Alli and Carly and the rest of the Strow family on the loss of their father, brother and son. I will remember Mike as he would sit in the driveway and play his guitar. He was a very nice neighbor.

Dear Strow Children:
 My deepest sympathies to you. Your dad would always speak highly of you kids and he was always so proud of you. You were always his first priority! He always kept pictures of you in his office at Autodie and would like to show them off to us. We were always inquiring about how you kids were doing. I was very fond of your dad; he was a true friend of mine. We met when I worked at Autodie and we remained friends. My husband, Jeff and I loved to watch Mike play his guitar, he was an awesome guitarist and performer! My thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.
 Deepest sympathies, Patty Ziomkowski

Dear Strow Family,
 Mike was one of my best friends and I will miss him terribly, as I know you all will too. He was an awesome person that you could talk to about anything and not worry that he would be judgmental. He had the greatest sense of humor and would sometimes make me laugh so hard, I would start snorting and not be able to stop. I'm finding a little solace in the knowledge that he died doing something he really loved. Ride on forever, Mike!
 He loved his family more than anything. He talked about how he was going to love being a Grandpa when Seth got married. The last thing he told me Friday was that he was going to meet his older daughter's new boy friend over the weekend and hoped he was good enough for her. That's the kind of Dad he was!
 We will always remember Mike and will relate funny and touching stories to keep that memory alive forever. He was loved by many! Heaven has another wonderful angel to watch down over us.
 Love ya, Bud!

Dear Strow Children and Family: I worked with your father several years ago at Autodie International. He was one of the kindest, nicest men I've ever known. Always had a warm smile, a chuckle to share, or a friendly greeting. I am comforted to know that he died doing what he loved. He left an impact on many lives and he will be sadly missed.

Dear Strow Family,
 Mike was one of my closest buddies and we've always had a great time joking around.
 In the past few years we've 'chatted' several times daily. I'm going to miss him deeply.
 My thoughts and expressions can not say enough. A very heartfelt prayer goes out for everyone effected by this sudden tragety.
 Ride on Mike!
 A deeply saddened, Jeff

Dear Strow Family We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of deep sorrow.

 Posted by Sherry and Scott Russell - Hastings, MI November 03, 2005

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We go way back with Mike to the days of "Minis Tirith" and "Sterling". Mike was a very gifted guitar player and we sure enjoyed watching him play and being able to play in a band with him. He will surely be missed.

Dear Strow family, I am very sorry for your loss. Over the past year or so I have gotten to know Mike. He will surely be missed. My prayers are with you.

 Posted by Dan Watkins - Grand Rapids, MI November 03, 2005

I just wanted to send my sympathy. Its been a long time but I considered you my family too, and cared about Mike very much. And Seth, always remember you made your father as proud as any father could be. Take care of yourselves.
 Love and deep sympathy, Shannon

 Posted by Shannon Foley - Hudsonville, MI November 03, 2005

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy. I was fortunate enough to work with Mike at Autodie for several years, we kept in touch via email. He was one of the nicest and funniest people I have ever met. I always hoped to work with him again. Our world will forever be less cheerful without him. He will always be remembered and in my prayers.

 Posted by Kevin Schumaker - Coopersville, MI November 03, 2005

Seth, Alli and Carley, You have my deepest sympathy. I worked with your dad for many years at Autodie. He was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. Words can't properly express the loss of your dad. The turnout for his Funeral was a perfect example of how many lives he touched in some way.
 We will all miss him deeply.

 Posted by Scott Ledger - Hudsonville, MI November 03, 2005

It was a pleasure to know Mike. Mike always made everyone around him better, as a musician and a person. God got a good one. He will be sadly missed.

Seth, Alli and Carley, Yesterday showed how lives your father touched. He was one of the good guys. There will always be a hole in my heart now that he is gone. Know that every time he spoke of his children there was so much pride in his voice and that beautiful smile on his face. Take care of each other. Elaine

 Posted by Elaine Dempsey - Kentwood, MI November 04, 2005

Seth, Alli and carley. I am very sorry for your loss. everyone loved mike, including myself. he was the same age as my older brother, and I always thought of mike as my brother. I was in two different bands with mike and had seen him and spoke with him often. he spoke of you kids when ever I would see him. always with a smile on his face. for those who never met mike there are only four things you need to know. he loved his family, he loved his music, he loved riding his cycle and he truly loved life. ride on brother. jerry.

I would like to give my deepest condolences. I just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I pray God gives you the strength to make it through this very difficult time. I was friends with Alli in high school, but was never able to get to know Mr. Strow. I'm sure he was a wonderful man since his children have turned into such wonderful people.

Seth,Alli and Carey
 You are in our every thought,our every hope and our every prayer. I would like to share this special poem with you.
 "There will come a day when the tears of sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance... and your heart will begin to heal itself... and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy... and you will hear the whisper of hope. There will come a day when you will welcome the tears of remembrance... as a sunshower of the soul... a turning of the tide... a promise of peace. There will come a day when you will... risk loving... go on believing... and treasure the tears of remembering."
 sincerest sympathy Connie & Al DeVol

OMIGOSH. I am so sorry, Alli. I went through the same thing in 7th grade, when my dad died. I have never forgotten him-- and still think of him daily. I won't tell you that time will heal-- because you will always feel him in your life. I am so sorry for your loss-- I can actually say that I know what you are going through-- if you ever-- EVER need someone to talk to-- I am here for you. If the night is lonely-- and people don't understand why you are still missing him after a few years-- let me know because I will understand and I will listen. It's been 11 years yesterday that my dad died-- and I still think of him everyday-- especially my wedding two weeks ago... I love you with all my heart... I love our memories... and I know you will survive this. Please, call if you need me. 616406.3186. 
 All of my love, Erin Wiseman

Dear Strow Family I am very sorry for your loss, Mike was a very good Friend and I have known him for a long time and for a couple of years I Picked him up and another friend every morning and we all rode to High School together. I just meet him for dinner a short time ago and got to catch up on a few things and I was able to see all the pictures of the Family he loved and was so very proud of. We were planning on getting together to Ride but we just did not make the time for it and I will regret that always. Mike was as good as they come and will be missed by all of us.

Even as one of Alli's best friends I did not know Mr. Strow all that well. What I do know is Alli is one of the sweetest, kindest, and amazing people I know. Children like her are the best memories because I am sure everything good in him is reflected and magnified in her.
