My heart 💜 was heavy when I heard of the passing of my dear church friend, deacon and usher. To God Be the Glory because he was a great man and person whom I watched over the years as a husband, father and brother, friend. I remember his encouraging words to me when I lost my husband. Mike was funny and kept me as well as others laughing. Mike would cut the fool during the times we ushered together. He was a die hard Cowboys fan but most importantly he was a child of god. Mike stayed the course and fought a good fight. Well done thy good and faithful servant of God. I will truly missed my friend. Pamela Sampson
I have so many memories of being a little kid with Mike and all of the other cousins playing at our grandparents house, sliding down the hill behind the stadium. Mike always found the good prices of cardboard to slide on! I pray that God will give comfort and peace to Fannie, their children and all of us who knew and loved him. Take your rest cousin.
Sending You Loving Thoughts and Heartfelt Sympathy. May God be your strength and carry you through this difficult time. "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you." John 14:27. Laurice Sanders Brown - SGWC - Texas Jurisdiction
