R.I.P., Praying for the family that God will comfort all of u in your time sorrow !!

I didn't know you but you are at peace. sometimes we fight battles we don't lose we just transform into light. While God continues we rest. I am so sorry Jontay that you had to know what it's like to feel this pain. I could not imagine losing Chris...but out of every battle comes a victory, a candle, a light and God takes us and lends us his strength to carry on. I believe there is purpose in every chaotic moment of our lives. for we are children of God. He is teaching us to use the storms as our lullabies. our hurt as our strength. He will heal you and in time restore all that seemed lost.

I love you,

To the Families, I was shocked to hear of the passing of my percussionist while at Galilee. Michael was a very humble person and it was a joy having him to play the drums in his younger days. He fought a good fight and kept that smile on his face thru his trials. I say to you that "Time is filled with swift transition. Naught on earth unmoved can stand. Build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God's Unchanging Hand." You are always in our prayers.
