Sharon, Beth, Michael, boys, Ms. Lucy; We're continuing to pray for all of you. God is gathering His children home and soon, and very soon, we are going to join them. It was such a beautiful service. Praying God will draw all of you close and give you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Just keep looking up, Jesus is coming soon.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Bro. Mickey. Myself and 2 of my siblings went to high school with Mickey. He, Benny and my brother played football together at Jacksboro High School in TN. I was a cheerleader. He was a "hoot". He always made me laugh. Of course, we talked TN Vols football. I will miss that awesome smile and collecting my hug every Sunday! Praying for Sharon and all the family. What a glad reunion day twill be!
