Dear family,
I was friends with Mike for years. I met him when he worked in Knoxville. I’ve been trying to get in touch with him via phone and sent a Christmas card with no response. We always sent birthday cards and Christmas cards to one another. I knew something was when he didn’t respond.
He loved his family.
You all will be in my prayers. I will miss him dearly.
Kim Cobble
To the Light family, we pray for strength for you during this difficult time. Mike was such a good neighbor and he will be missed. Praying for comfort and peace. The Garland family.
