Mic was a special friend to me. We had not only a working
relationship at Vernon, but a Faith working relationship in
praying for each other's healing. i am happy to say that Mic
was extremely vocal in his faith and often proved a word of
encouragement to me. If there is anything that i can ever do
for You, please do not hesitate to call upon me. i will continue
to pray for you.

Fern,
It's hard to put in to words the fondness I have for this gentle giant. Mick was an inspiration to so many of us, especially those of faith. I count it an honor to have had Mick as my friend, and although my stomach literally aches thinking of his passing, I have such a great assurance that we'll see him soon.
I know you will miss him greatly. Please know that our prayers are with you, asking for comfort and guidance from the Holy Spirit in all you do.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Propst
