Although we cannot be with you these next days, our prayers, thoughts, sorrow & sympathy are with you all.
The only thing deeper is our thankfulness to our Lord Jesus, that Mike, you & your children know Him & Love Him...there is no better legacy than that.
God bless you with his Presence & his Peace.
