The Words Of An Angel

HE said unto thee, Believe , then you will be set free.

He sends angels down from the heavens above

To guard us in our times of need.

He watches over us while we pray.

He gives comfort to those who talk to Him,As I know you need Him today.

Have comfort in your faith, friends and family

for they are your angels, that He sent down to guard you

And to guide you

Along the path of which you have to take,

To give you strength to carry on.

You are the angel with wings

And the prayer that has been answered Comes from within yourself.

And with his touch to guide you.

So that you will never be alone

He sends His Love.

written by: Christine Holbrook

I hope that this gives you and the family a little comfort and that if you need us in any way fell free to call us we will be there you for and the whole family.

Sandy and family,

I can't imagine the difficult time and saddness you and your family are going through at this time. I know Mike was loved and cared for by all who knew him as it was the testiment to him with the hundreds of people Monday night, to honor Mike. He is an extrodinary "young" man who was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. I know the Angels have wrapped their big, warm, loving wings around your entire family, as Mike watches from above smiling as usual. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

As God Blesses all of you,

Words cannot touch your family's pain. Mike was a good man and friend to anyone who met him. A quality person, who is our loss and heaven's gain.

I did not really know Mike. I had just talked to him at Englebert Tire a few times. Fine folks at Englebert Tire! I know their hearts are grieving. Remember, "One often calms one's grief by recounting It." by Pierre Corneille. To the Englebert family and employees, stay strong and keep moving ahead. I’m sure many people are depending on “you”, like they depended on Mike.

Dear Sandy, Lori, Brandi and freinds,I never had the opportunity to meet Mike but, from all the pouring out of hearts throughout the

Kernersville community, you didn't have to know him to know he touched many lives. I do know the Street family and my prayers are also with Elmer, Penney, Neil and Andy at this time. God Bless all of you!

A true testament of Mike's life was certainly displayed last night...He always had a smile to share with all who came in contact with him. To have a friend, you must first be a friend...it would be safe to say, he was a great friend to all..

So many years have passed since I left Kernersville but my heart goes out to Sandi, Lori & Brandi along with the whole family. Mike was not only fun-loving, but hard working & a very devoted family man. Growing up with him through the years went from being like a little brother to a great friend. He will be sorely missed.

Mrs. Todd Penley
