Please continue to trust in God, as he is there to comfort you and give you peace. He loves you and will make these hard times easier. We will continue to pray for you, and Mike's family.

There are no words that can express the grief and sympathy I feel in my heart for you Rosemary, and the rest of you guys, too. The feeling in the pit of my stomach is nothing I've ever felt before. Probably, about an hour before I received the call from Jimmy, I was talking to Amber about her bringing me down to see Mickey and the rest of you. She lives in Statesboro, Ga. which is not, but, maybe a couple of hours from you all. Please do not hesitate to call me if there is anything I can do for any of you.

My Love To All....Dot Anders
