Prayers and a request for an added measure of strength and comfort, though our Mediator, go out to grieving family and friends. Mike was a source of guidance and great advice to me whenever I visited with her and Harold on occasion while I was growing up! I can tell you she was loved by not only by her daughter-in-law, Carol, but all who were blessed by her nurturing nature. I am pleased to have know Mike and to witness the love shown to her by her children and grandchildren. Rest well, my friend, until you hear your Masters’ voice!
