Dad- I never thought that this day would come. We weren't close, but I still loved you. I enjoyed visiting you. I just wish we had more time. I will miss you and the memories that we will never get to share, although, I know that where you are, you are happy, at peace, and no longer in pain - and that brings peace to me. I'm so grateful that you got to meet your Granddaughter. We all love you and miss you.

Schnell and Family I believe in my heart that God has said to Michael "Well done my good and faithful servant, well done my faithful warrior, well done. Now Come Home and Rest, rejoice and admire the good you have done and the joy you have brought others. Schnell you and Michael have shared so much together, the happy, the sad, the daily journey now it is time for him to travel a road without you, but rest assured that when it is your time to travel alone that he will be waiting for you at the end of the journey with out stretched arms and a smile; ready to share an eternity with you once again.

I did not know Mike all that well as a Lender at the Sunset Branch, he would deliver files to me on a regular basis. When I found out he had been in the Marines,it sparked a mutual interest. My husband is retired from the Marine Corps and my son at the time was in the Marines stationed in Iraq. Mike reminded me often that my son is in the best trained branch of the military and would always lift my spirits... He will be missed...

Mike was a free spirit that loved the outdoors and always had a smile. He was a hard worker and was a man that cared about others. He loved his family and I have been missing him.

On my way to California in 1998, I took a detour & went to Prairie Grove to visit Aunt Alma. The family had a get together at the park & I got to see cousins I hadn't seen since my childhood and it was wonderful. Tonight, I was looking family up online when I came across your name. How sad I am to learn of your passing. Looking at the video of pictures, it brought back a flood of memories of a summer playing in Uncle Norman & Aunt Alma's front yard; all of us cousins chasing each other, too many cousins to count! Rest in peace cousin, heaven is your playground now. Tell my dad hello and hang out with him for a bit, just don't listen to his corny jokes!
Linda Jenkins Gideon - Second Cousin
Norman, I am so sorry to hear you lost Michael. I hope you remember you I am. I was married to your uncle Norman. I think of all your family often. After Linda told me, I called Uncle Thomas and talked to them. Love (Aunt) Helen
Helen Chapman (jenkins) - Helen Jenkins
Daddy I miss you more than anyone or anything could be missed in someone's life. I'm your twin a spitting image of you. You taught me about our family and showed me the way to be a good man in life, the time we had together should have been longer then we were let to have and I cherish every frown, tear, laugh, and smile we had we one another the way you told me stories, the trips to the mountains we'd take, bow and arrow making to watching movies with Apple pie and vanilla ice cream. I'm just glad you don't hurt anymore. I hurt now in return. I love and miss you until I'm with you again. Love your son, Little Mike.
