    I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and share some comfort and hope from God's word. In it he promises to bring our loved ones back to life in a perfect world where there will be no more suffering or death. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:4; Isaiah 25:8) Until that time comes, Jehovah God assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he "is close to the brokenhearted" and "He saves those who are crushed in spirit." So he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)

    Mike will be sorely missed by all who knew him. It was fun growing up in the neighborhood back then , and we all laughed ,and shared our lives in a time when you didnt have to lock your doors,windows or cars..Every mother in the neighborhood helped raise the kids,and believe me,that could be a handful.. Mike was always quick to find the good in a person, and could make you laugh,even when you didnt want to.. Hold a place in line for the rest of us Mike,,we'll see ya sooner than ya know.
