Debbie and the Jones family, it saddened my heart to hear of the passing of Mike, BUT I later rejoiced knowing that Mike will no longer suffer or be in pain! Praying, Debbie, that God will give you His perfect peace and comfort knowing that you will see him later on the other side of this earth in Heaven! May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. Peace to you and the Jones family.
