Mike, Marie and family--What a privilege it was to know your mother, Mike! We are two of so many who could not "escape" being ensnared by her invincible "New Visitor" radar when we visited Floris UMC in the original church so many years ago! We thank God for her life and for her strong faith and spirit! May God comfort you and provide you with many, many happy memories to carry you through the days ahead.
