I just received word from Mike's wife, Mary, that a date and location has been set for Mike's memorial service.  

The memorial service will take place on Thursday, December 16, 2021 at Big Valley Grace Community Church.  The service is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm.  The church is located at 4040 Tully Road, Modesto, California 95356.  Please plan to arrive early as we anticipate hundreds in attendance. 

If you'd like to participate in honoring Mike's legacy in a hands-on way, prior to the memorial service, you can write a tribute letter to bring with you.  (If you hand write your letter instead of typing, please print legibly.)   Afterwards we'll compile all of the tribute letters and compose a book to give to Mary and the kids.  That way they can read about the lives Mike touched during his service here on earth.

Somewhere in your letter please recount the approximate year in which you first met Mike.  This will help us compose the book chronologically.

If you're unsure of what to write, you can recount how Mike entered your story and the difference he made in your life.  What was his impact on you?

This will be a significant blessing to the Winther family. I hope to include your letter in the project.  In the meantime, please continue to lift the Winthers up in prayer as the service draws near.


In Honor of Mike,
