Dear Lee,
Your choice of Jeremiah 29:11 touched my heart in a special way, comforting as Beth and I grieve with you. It is sweet Beth’s life verse. It was used as part of Tommy’s funeral. It is one of God’s promises that anchors our souls in times like these. We are thankful we got to know Michael. We will continue praying for you and the boys as we look forward to your being next door.
Lee, I am forever grateful for the friendship Mike and i shared. I’m grateful that I was able to meet you, at the LSU game and to see you and Mike together. You made him immensely happy. Words cannot express my deep sadness and sorrow . I will miss our long, long conversations. I will miss my Big Man. Praying for peace and consolation in your life. Prayers for peaceful repose of Mike’s soul. May he Rest In Peace .
Lee, I can’t tell you how much Micheal has meant to our family and what an amazing man, husband and father he has been. We are all crushed by his loss. You know we are here for you and the boys and God will see us all through. Michael wouldn’t want us grieving or putting up a fuss - it’s hard not to when you recognize what a true heart and faithful, dedicated husband and friend Michael has been.
I had a brief moment of prayer and recognition outdoors as soon as I got the news.. There was a light breeze blowing and I knew he was close by. I asked him to pick up the wind if he was near - right on queue a stiffer breeze immediately began.
My heart is with yours as you mourn the loss of your precious husband. I wish I had the words to express how very sorry I am. I think it’s obvious what a beautiful life he so thoroughly lived. I hope you have felt our prayers and that God holds you in the palm of His hand. Until you meet again…
