    Michael was a true "es;Statesman"es; of the faith. He represented our Lord so well. Every time I visited Rhema, I could always count on Michael to give me a warm welcome and to lift my spirit. I will miss him. May God hold you close during this time.

  27. To Sandra, Kim, Jodella and the entire family, as your sister-in-Christ my heart grieves with you in your loss. May the Lord our God continue to manifest Himself in any and every way you need Him. Among many things He is "es;the Lord our Peace"es; and "es;the Lord who is Present"es;. May He keep you, carry you and comfort you.

    Michael was truly earth's gain and on May 10th there came a vacuum in the earth itself. But what is so awesome is that because of Michael's influence and impact through service and as a model of godly manhood, I believe many will step up and step into places of void. What a powerful imprint he made; what a legacy he leaves.

    I love you and will continue to pray for you,
    Beverly Pettway
