I am so sorry to read about the loss of Mr. Michels. Please allow these words to comfort you during this trialsome time. "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.� Revelation 21:3,4

I'm very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Seems like yesterday we were all at Christ The King, with Mike doing one of his "perpetual" wheelies all the way home from school.
