Roger and Colleen,
There are no words to say that can express my condolences for the loss of my wonderful cousin Mikal. He was a wonderful person, man, father, son, and friend to all who knew him. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We will see him again some day. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love your cousin, Ruby Linda

Mikal will be missed. It's true about his passion for the people he has encounted in his life. He's cared about my family, especially my child since they were kids. We don't have all of the answers to the Why's, but we do know that there is a God that sits high. When The Gates of Heaven opend and received This New Angel, with Trumpets blaring. It was declared: ALL IS WELL! To all of Mikal's family and friends, Live with Peace. Our Prayers are with you daily.
