On Friday, May 15th, Mike Cabbell unalived, a profound loss for his wife, their beloved fur babies (Gary, the beagle, and Molly, the cat), family, and friends. As we remember Mike’s life and the love he shared, this page was set up to stand beside his wife in the days ahead with meals, visits, and messages of support, as well as help with their pets and various needs around the house, as you are able. Right now, the most helpful support for Mike’s wife is gentle, ongoing presence: planned visits and check‑ins, messages of care, meals, hands‑on help with repairs and projects around the house. Every act of care, no matter how small, will help her feel a little less alone in this grief.
Visits: Please reach out directly to Ruth or to her niece, Sara Davis (916) 899-1750 - please text, to coordinate and schedule a time to visit. Meals: Simple, easy-to-heat meals are most helpful. Please avoid condiments entirely, including mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, and ketchup. Practical help: There are various projects and repairs around the house (including general maintenance and some plumbing needs) where an extra set of hands would be especially appreciated.
