toothless mike laurel

We have known Mike, Laurel and the kids for 27 years. There are so many cherished memories. We as families went to Greer for summer vacations many times. The rain storms, the fishing, the camp fires, the S’mores, the laughter I will never forget. (The photo at River lake was taken on one of those Greer trips.) We shared many kid’s birthday parties and New Year’s Eve parties, game nights and summer barbeques as well. I remember our son Clancy insisted on having a fishing party and of course the Williams family was the first on the invitation list. (The photo of Mike and Rachel was taken at that party.) Another fun memory was tubing in the snow up towards Big Bug Mesa one year and the fire and hot cocoa when we got wet and cold. Then there was the Easter egg hunt up Big Bug Creek. The kids hid the eggs from us adults and we never found them all. The things I remember the most about Mike were his ability to enjoy the moment and his absolute unwavering love for his family. He thoroughly enjoyed every minute with them. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a contagious laugh, even after he was injured from a fall off of a ladder and lost his tooth among many more injuries. He and Laurel took full advantage of his temporary look at the church Harvest party that year (see photo above). There are so many more memories we will forever have in our hearts until we get to go home to heaven and make new ones with Mike & Nichole.
Much Love,
