How Much We Will Miss You

11/17/2014

Sunday we said goodbye to my father and best bud, Mike Hanselman.

It was a beautiful afternoon and as we were coming in from the back, he passed. It was quick, easy and in total dad fashion - piece of cake.

I love you Dad and am so proud to have been your daughter and partner. May the green heads fly low and be plentiful.

My condolences! I always enjoyed talking to your dad when I bought your lovely herbs. This morning I said to my husband, "I haven't been to Blue Heron in so long. I love that place. They are most likely not open now, but I think I'll drive by on Sunday just to see the island and the place." So sorry to hear that Mike is gone. Take care.

I've been enjoying visits to blue heron since I was a teenager and you first opened shop. Your dad was such a great character and conversationalist. A real nice spirit to be around. Shed tears today reading of his passing. I think he must have touched a lot of lives in a gentle way.
