Mike to Pastor Craig and myself was more than a member of Stronghold Ministry he was family and he is already missed, but one thing I do know is that his Pastor prepared him for that day as he does with everyone he pastors now Mike is dancing on the streets of gold just like he did in church, Olivia Gailes
Oh so sorry for your loss. He has gone on home to meet Mom and Dad. Always remember Mike. Condolences Paula Scott
Mike will be missed. He helped those when he was called on and had a heart of gold. He truly loved God with all his heart. On Sunday mornings he always worshipped God as if it was his last. When he met someone he made it his duty to love them no matter how they presented themselves. Rest on Mike and take your rest. You are safe in his arms now.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
