Mike was a dear friend. Having been in law enforcement many years and having worked with him personally, few deaths in this world have hit me as hard as his. I look forward to being there when he is resurrected in the paradise earth, so close at hand, under God’s Kingdom which will be established on earth as it already is in heaven today with Jesus Christ as King.
