Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Mike. You may remember me as Patty Bauer and I went to Centerville and Lyndon schools with Mike and rode the same school bus for several years with your sons. I have many happy memories of being in school with Mike. He was always very nice. When I was in college at Iowa State Univ in Ames Iowa, I told someone that I met that I was from Prophetstown, IL. I can't remember where he said he was from but he said he knew Mike King through showing cattle or hogs. I thought "What a small world". I just read Mikes obituary tonight, my apologies for not responding sooner. May your memories of your time together help you with your sadness.

I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is such a difficult thing to experience. Please be comforted by the words of Jesus at John 5:28, 29. He tells us that all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. What a loving provision put in place by the God of all comfort so we can have the assured hope of seeing our dead loved ones again one day. Meanwhile as I pray for that day to come I ask God to bless your family and give each of you the strength to endure this most trying time.
