Condolences
The family of Michael Lambrecht Dilworth has received the following condolences.
Dear Ann and Mary -
You have my deepest sympathy at this very sad time. I have fond memories playing with you, Ann, when at my Grandma and Grandpa Clark's farm, and of Mike and Rusty playing and riding horses together. I think of you all as I glance over at your house when I was visiting my aunt and uncle Mike and Laney, or my brother Mickey (down the road). Such great memories.
So sorry to hear of Mike's death. We are friends from SunLife in Mesa. May he rest in peace. God bless you all
To the Dilworth Family,
I am very sorry for the loss of your Father. May God watch over you all during this time.
I am very sorry for the loss of your father, my prayers are with you. Kathy
Your Dad and Mom were an instrumental part of Matt's up bring, plus being wonderful friends. I knew when I left him each morning, he was in great hands. I remember the "special" things Mike taught Matt-you know maybe some of them were not so good-HA!
Your family will always be special and I would like to thank everyone of you the love and care you shown to Matt. Matt and I have great memories!
God bless you all.
Deb & Matt
