To the Mikell family and friends:

I didn't learn of Bro. Mikell's departure until late morning of 2/16. However, I heard a very moving memory of the man at the Doyle Dykes concert that evening. Doyle told the crowd of 3000 of how Godly a man was Jim Mikell and how he must now be playing his guitar before The Master. Doyle then reminisced of a song that Bro. Jim used to sing all the time. Doyle then closed the tribute to Bro. Mikell by dedicating a song to him, On The Wings of the Morning." It was so fitting for I then remembered that the only time that I had the privelege of meeting Jim Mikell was at a Doyle Dykes concert at the Hogan Rd. Assembly of God back in 1999. Bro. Mikell, we'll see you soon. To the rest of the family and friends, continue to abide in Him. Sincerely

Doug Berenguer

What wonderful memories of a gentle,loving,caring christian man. We will always hold dear to our hearts the memories of Jim singing and playing his guitar at Garden City Church Of God. He would come by from time to time and bless us with his God given talents. What a blessing he was to so many people. We love you Harriett and family.

Mrs. Mikell and Family -



Our hearts and prayers are with you during this most difficult of times.



Cindy lost her dad the day after Thanksgiving after a stroke.



We know where you're walking and know that HE is MORE than able to take care of you. He's so faithful.



Remember that you've not lost him, since you know where he is and that you'll be with him and our Lord Jesus soon. Maranatha.



May our Lord give you peace, strength and comfort as He holds you in the palm of His hand.



God Bless you all.
