Dear Kelly, Will, Becky and other family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Kelly, you shared that Mike’s passing was unexpected in spite of his many physical challenges over the last few years. I cannot help but think that Jesus was ready to bring him home where there is no more pain and no more tears. My prayer is for the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort to sustain you as you look to him for hope and provision in the coming days and weeks and years.
With my love,
Karen Yates Ratchford
