My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Mikel was blessed with the unconditional love of his (the Hogues) family and the home you provided. I hope he is at peace now and that you may find comfort in knowing he's in Gods hands now. Bless you Thelma, Mary, and Richard for never giving up on him as most did in his life. He was truly blessed by your family and with his beautiful daughter.

It's hard to read my dad's obituary in the paper. It's hard to believe he is gone it's really different than not talking to him for years. The feeling of knowing I will never be able to do talk or see him again does break my heart. I love you dad and I hope now you will rest in peace.
