Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I wanted to tell you again that it was nice to meet you and was glad that you joined us at Northridge Friends Church last Sunday. I am sad at your loss and yet it was nice to see Kim and meet her family as I had not had the opportunity to do that. I wanted to give you a word of encouragement from the Bible… ‘What a wonderful God we have – he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials.’ 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Again, I want you to know that I have been praying for you throughout this past week and will continue to do so as the Lord leads me. In Christ, Jodi Kinniburgh
Mary and family~ I have no idea what to say about your loss other than I am truly sorry and know this is a very difficult time for all of you. Just know that your entire family is in my prayers and will continue to be. I don’t know a lot and can’t offer much peace to you right now but I do know ONE thing for sure……Mike will experience his first PERFECT Christmas this year. I can’t think of many people who deserve THAT more than Mike Palmer.
Mary, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry about the loss of Mike. You both are great neighbors and your friendship has been a blessing. Your wonderful memories of Mike will help you through this difficult time. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Mary and Family I was blessed to meet Mike several years ago. As you know Mary you and Mike owned a trophey shop. I first meet you and Mike when I came into the shop to order trophies for my racquetball business that I had recently purchased. Of course, both of you were gracious and he;pful. As the years went on both of you joined our racquetball club and I was honored to know both of you. We had a lot of fun playing racquetball and just talking. Mike was a man who was kind, considerate, caring and friendly. He was honest, good natured and personable. Mike loved others and he was a joy. When I read that Mike had gone on to be with the Lord, I was shocked. I had not seen Mike for many years but I heard him on the radio from time to time advertising vehicles. It is intersting how people come in and out of our life but even though you don’t see them for a long time, you never forget them because they have been a postive person in your life. Mike was a positive person for me. I just wanted to let you know that you have been and will continue to be in our prayers. If I can be of assistance in any way please let me know. May God bless you with his comfort and his prsence. For I am convinced that neither death or life, neither angels or demons, neither the prsent of the future or any powers, neither height nor depth, nor antyhing else in all of creation will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 God bless. Gordon Rogers 688-0979
