"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of The Lord , that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of The Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep." I Thess 4: 13 - 15 KJV
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen" Philemon 25 KJV

I am sorry for your family's loss. Mike was a cousin to my dad (Olen Morgan) Mike's mom and my dad's mom were sisters. Mike used to attend the Morgan/Ostrander family reunions. I remember Mike always having a story to share and being so happy. He always had a twinkle in his eye, smile on his face and a joy to be around. Mike was a great guy.
