Joan I am so sorry for your loss. Your in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I’ve known Mike since I was 12 years old. He certainly was a special guy, loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed, never forgetten
So sorry to hear of the loss of Mike. May the family find comfort from the scripture at Acts 24:15 which says, “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” What a beautiful promise for our future! Your family will be in my prayers.
Dear Mike, May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
