My deepest sympathy to you. It is heartwarming to know that we can pour our feeling to God who promises to comfort out hearts (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17). May the God of all comfort be with family and friends during your time of sorrow. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
I have good memories of Mike, Linda Gail, Bessie and Lem while attending church at Woodrow. Wishing his family peace and comfort.

I met Mike in 1967 while preaching in a meeting at Woodrow. I ate supper with his father and mother and have enjoyed knowing for these almost 50 years. He is resting now and at peace.
