Dear Steve,
Thanks for remembering Mike. I enjoyed your comment because it reminded me of how he liked to sum everything up in a few words. Sometimes, it came across a little short, but I quickly learned that there was never an ulterior motive. He just wanted to be clear. I learned to appreciate his honesty. Thanks for your friendship. He always spoke highly of the Greenwoods. Sincerely, Cathy

Dear Susan and Bruce,
Thanks for your friendship over the years and for sharing the bittersweet day of Mike’s funeral service. It was so hard to say goodbye to him, but it was even more difficult to watch him be so restricted and suffer. I’m so happy for him that he can now move freely and have no limitations. He loves to work and I’m sure he’s finding lots to do. Mike was so happy that you would go with him to California when we were sealed. He considered you a dear friend. He, also, told me so many times how sweet your mother was and how nice she was to him. Thanks for being such a great influence. He was so proud of you and Susan and that you were teaching at BYU. We didn’t get to see you a lot because we both had large, active families that kept us busy just following them. Thanks, again, for being there. Love, Cathy

Dear Kathy and Steve,
Thanks for remembering the many good times we had while raising our families together. Those were fun days that Mike and I will always treasure. He, also, loved Steve’s dad, Jack, and had such a good time going Home Teaching with him. He always looked forward to those visits. You have a wonderful family and we’re glad our lives intertwined in school and church activities. You and Steve are a fun couple and I hope to see you again. Love always, Cathy

Dear Betsy,
Thanks for the tender care you and the other Hospice staff gave Mike. He appreciated you all so very much. Your memory of his truck ride to his birthday party was special. His ride to the cemetery, however, was unforgettable. His casket was placed on the bed of the 1952 “Big Red” farm truck. The boys had painted the truck black and put the “incredible, edible egg” on the side. I’m sure he was laughing all the way, probably wondering what the boys would think up next. Take care. Mike and I love you, Cathy

Dear Elder Bishop,
Thanks for bringing back some special memories of the Southern States Mission days. Mike and I both had some great experiences while serving there. Mike loved missionary work and I feel that he’s probably happily involved now in that capacity. Life doesn’t always work out as we plan, but I’m so glad we had 52 fun-filled years together. I hope we can meet again, Elder Bishop, and reminisce about Savannah. Thanks, again, Sister Cathy “Reed” Bromley

Dear Scott,
Thanks for your kind note and the influence you have had on our family. Serving with Cozette in the Stake R.S. was one of the joys of my life. You are both such special people and we feel blessed as we remember our association over the years. We will miss Mike greatly, but we’re happy that he is no longer suffering. Bless you both. Love, Cathy

Dear Jeanine and Vern,
Thank you for your kind remarks. As long as I can remember, you and your family have been an integral part of our family. You’ve always represented excellence in our memories, from genealogy to bookkeeping to machine repair to child rearing. I know Mike valued your friendship, as we all did. It will be difficult without him, but we know he is in a better place where he’s surely enjoying life without restrictions. Our spirits are lifted just knowing there are friends like you around us. Thanks for being there. We love you and your family, Cathy

Dear Lorna,
Such sweet memories we have of you, Tamera, KeraLee and your entire family in Arizona. Mike was proud of the example of excellence you set for those following you. Mike and I certainly admire your Mom and Dad and the selfless love they showed in allowing you to participate in the Lamanite Placement Program. They wanted you and your siblings to have educational and social opportunities to pursue your dreams. It was a sacrifice for them, but they loved you that much. You have made them proud by the honor you’ve brought to their name. Now, each of you are blessing the lives of your people, in your own special way. Our children’s lives have been blessed by having the Josephs a part of our family. We’ll always love you, Cathy

Sorry to hear of Mikes passing. He was a good man. I still remember some advice he gave me many years ago when I was working for his Dad "Dair" processing potatoes. - "just remember to throw out the bad ones and let the good ones pass on by"

Mike and I were best friends in high school and we are friends eternally. I remember having the reassuring thought in my youth that I must be an OK guy because such an accomplished and fine young man as Mike Bromley was my friend. I have great memories of when you and Mike were married, Cathy, and as Mike's best man I travelled to Los Angeles with you and was there for your sealing. We lost track of you after Susan and I went away to graduate school in the mid 1960s, but it was great to re-connect when we returned to teach at BYU. We thoroughly enjoyed the celebration of Mike's life with you and your wonderful family last Thursday.

Dear Cathy and family, we want to share in the greetings from your many friends on the passing of your dear husband. Yes your family was such an influence of good on our family. I will always remember sitting at the football games freezing, watching our sons play football. Mike was such an example of hard work and love for his family. Please know our thoughts are with you. I know your strong testimony of the Saviors love for us will bring you peace and comfort. Kathy

We became acquainted with both Mike and Cathy in the Southern States Mission. In the spring of 1962, we met her serving in the Savannah Sister's District. Cathy and her companion would sometimes give us a call if they had a problem with their car, the apartment, or for other reasons. Mike is leaving his family far too soon, having done a lot of good things with his life. After some time passes, Cathy, it would be great to catch-up. -Elder Bishop

So sorry for your Loss. Mike was the High Council Advisor to the American Fork Fifth Ward and he ordained me an elder. Later when I was on the High Council I had the opportunity to conduct the same for his sons. Got to know Cathy during this time , and there is no greater sister. Mike will be missed but is in a better place, Love from Scott and Cozette Deveraux

Dear Cathy and Family, The years we came to know you in the Old Eleventh Ward of American Fork bring back many memories of the years we spent raising our families and building memories with one another. We have said goodbye to so many of those old ward members over the years and each time is a mixture of sorrow to say goodbye and gratitude to have known such good people. Working in the office at the egg farm for a few years and the repairs on the farm equipment Vern did one summer gave us the opportunity to spend time with you in a new and different way. We became friends.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers as you honor the life and legacy of this truly good man. Cathy, we love you. May God bless you and keep you always in His loving care as you bid goodbye for now to your dear one.

Dear Cathy, I am so sad to hear Mike has passed on to the next life. I pray you will be comforted along with the rest of your family. Thank you for letting me work at the store, Coop d Fun and the office. You are all hard workers and examples to others of love and happiness. I enjoyed watching your children grow and working with them and with you. I remember Mike was always in his overalls and hard at work. You were so generous to all of us who worked there. I feel blessed to know all of you. Love, Joan

Bromley Family,
I am so sad to hear about your loss. It seems that during these times of sorrow and loss we learn how much our family and friends mean to us. I really love and appreciate all that Mike and Cathy have done for my family. Mike is my sisters' (Tamara & Karalee) foster father. He was not my foster father but he never hesitated to ask me how I was doing or offer me words of advice or encouragement. I am so grateful that my sisters grew up in the Bromley home. If it weren't for the LDS Lamanite Placement Program I wouldn't have finished school or graduate from college. I lived with two wonderful families in Pleasant Grove. Living near my sisters made being away from home easier. Dad Bromley invited me over to his home many times so that I could spend time with my sisters. When I was in college I sometimes did not have enough money for groceries, he would buy me groceries from his small store in AF. I will always love him (and Cathy) for taking such good care of my sisters. I know that Mike was well loved and respected. He had great character and a big heart. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry for your loss. It is such a jo to know about the plan of salvation and that we can have our families forever.
I will always remember Mike as a gentle giant. He was terrifying to me as a child but as I grew I learned he had a soft heart. Working for him was a blessing. I started in the coops and since I am terrified of birds I told him I would not come back. He made it possible for me to work in the main building candeling eggs. He taught me not to give up and that if I explain myself there are other things that could be done.
Mike will be missed. Your family is in my prayers.

Dear Kip,
I’ve always felt a kindred spirit with you. The Elders told me that I should forever remember my baptismal birthday and you were born on that same day in July. Your birthday is a constant reminder to me of a date that changed my life eternally. When the family was together the other day, Reed mentioned that he was in awe of you because Dad used Kip as the “gold standard” in gathering eggs and cleaning the coops. Sounds like you were a great union negotiator, too, in getting a better rate of pay. I’m not sure our kids ever got that message because their pay was “as needed”. Those were special days when your family lived on the farm, too. Not having any relatives in the area, I always appreciated that they took me in as family. They’ve been so good to us over the years, too. Thanks for your sweet note. Mike and I love you all and are proud of the entire Becky and Richard Bromley family. Love, always, Aunt Cathy

I'll miss my Uncle Mike. I'm grateful for the life lessons I learned from him - how to work hard and to value each person and their opinions. Thankful he listened to a group of 16-17 year olds as we pitched the idea of getting paid by the case to gather eggs--and as crazy as that seemed--he let us have a go, and it was a great success. I enjoyed talking with uncle Mike and always felt listened to. I remember royal king sized platters of eggs served up for breakfast after sleep overs with Mike jr. and Reed.
Aunt Cathy is one of only a couple of mortal angles I know - may you and your family receive all the comfort and love you deserve at this difficult time.

Oh Carolee,
I’ve thought about you so often; it’s so nice to hear from you. You were such a fun companion. You were always happy and had such a cute laugh. I learned so much from you and I was sad when we were reassigned.
Thanks for sharing those memories. They were classic. Yes, I had a few run-ins with Elder Bromley, too, but I have to say that after I got to know him, he’s really one of the sweetest and kindest people ever. I don’t know if you were at the Zone Conference in Birmingham when he was checking our phone tracting technique. He looked at me and said “Ring-a-ling, Sister Reed” and I was supposed to reply with the tracting message. I was so frightened that I couldn’t say anything. He waited a short time; then, he called on an Elder who did it perfectly. I was so embarrassed that I got up and left the meeting in tears. I went to the foyer and told everyone I was sick and couldn’t go for my interview. After that, I avoided him. When I got to know him, though, I mentioned the incident and he didn’t even remember that I walked out of the meeting nor that I had any reason to be upset. I don’t think he even knew I was in the meeting. He was totally engrossed in his task of helping us improve our phone tracting. For sure, I didn’t make much of an impression with him.
Truly, I have loved every minute of the past 52 years and I will miss him terribly. I would say he’s taken half of me with him because he’s been my whole life. We’ve done so much together. I’m so happy for him to be in a better place.
Thanks for your note. I hope I can see you again. Love you, Cathy “Sister Reed”

Dear Lorena,
Your family is a dear part of our 11th Ward family. It was fun watching you grow from a sweet little girl to the fine young woman you are today. We shared a lot of wonderful experiences. Mike loved you and your family so much. You were always loyal and dependable in anything you were asked to do. As hard as it is to know he’s no longer with us, it was even more difficult to watch him so limited in activity 24/7. As you remember, he worked hard. Now, he’s in a better place where he can move and be active once again. Thanks for your sweet note. Lots of love to you and your family, Cathy

It has been a long time since I saw Elder Bromley and Cathy. Cathy this is your old missionary companion "Sister Brown".
Sorry to read about the passing of Mike and do hope you are doing ok.
Two memories stand out it my mind, Elder Bromley was. It didn't matter what my companion, Sister Miller and I did we could not please him. It was Easter Sunday and we had new outfits to wear to church and when Elder Bromley saw us all he said was "where are your Easter hats?" We both wanted to scream at him.
2nd memory. As the Zone leader he was always telling the zone what we were doing wrong. There had been some accidents in our zone so he always lecturing us that if we were following all the mission reules there would be no accidents. That went on for a few months then one day Elder Bromley had a wreck the whole mission rejoiced. There was no more lectures on accidents.
Cathy, I enjoyed our time as companions. You were one of the sweetest people I ever met. You did not like to go to bed and I remember kneeling and waiting for you so we have have our closing prayer. I remember ussing one of the Christmas tunes and sing to you "Fall on your knees"
My heart goes out to you and your family. May the Lord's choices blessing be upon you.

Mike was as big as life as he served in the callings he accepted. He was the Bishop in our building, we bought eggs from the old Bromley egg plant for such good prices. Mike was as honest as the day was long. Our sons worked at the egg farm a couple times giving chickens vaccinations. Our oldest daughter babysat his children, and his exchange student from Germany became our friend years later. Our family loved, respected and admired Mike! The best thing he ever did for us was to share his oldest son! We know he is visiting with those who like him have passed on. They welcomed him with open arms. We hope his family has peace in knowing how well they cared for him and loved him. May God bless you all with great memories.

I was very saddened to hear that Mike had passed. I have missed going to their home on Halloween and getting our pictures taken and then getting our treat. Their home was always an inviting area to go too. I always felt very loved from Mike and his family. I will always cherish the memories even the ones working in the Coops, and I will always remember getting my first job from Mike. There is so much more I could say about this great man but I believe it would become a novel. I am truly blessed to have known such a great man and his family. Thank you and love you!!
