Deacon Mike,
I am asking Our Blessed Mother to wrap you in her Mantle and provide you with peace and healing with her motherly comforting support today and in the days ahead. Yours and Marlene's faith and positivity to persevere amid great trials are a powerful testimony to others about how to live a hopeful and trusting life centered in Our Lord. Be assured of my constant prayers!
Rest in peace in the arms of Jesus, sweet, dear friend. We will miss you. Mike, you and your family are in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Marlene's passing. She was a brave, gallant lady. I know she is smiling down on all of us from Heaven. May your many wonderful memories give you comfort during this difficult time.

Deacon Mike, I am so sorry for your loss.
Phoenix AZ September 18, 2018 at 3:47 pmOne of the hardest things to deal with is losing a loved one to death. We look forward to the time when all the promises from God will be fulfilled especially ones like, “no resident will say I am sick” and “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”, to life here on earth under much better conditions. (Isaiah 33:24; John 5:28-29; Psalm 37:11, 29) Until that time let your memories take you back and make you smile, let prayer bring you peace and comfort, and the support from your family and friends help you through this very difficult time.
Martha Waid September 23, 2018 at 6:00 pm
Mike,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I miss her sweet smile and laughter!
