Mikes Favorite Bible Verse was Psalm 18: 1-2, I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust, my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Flowers are welcomed, and the family appreciates your thoughts and prayers.
