I will forever thank the "Master Planner" for causing my path to cross Pastor Mike's....only five months ago.
Pastor Mike, was a gentle, patient, compassionate, generous and intelligent man. He shared lessons, about life, in a very simplistic and practical manner. I learned so much about loving, living and transitioning.
Pastor Mike's impact will always be within me and I will forever thank the Master Planner for him.
