Sonny and family,
It is evident from the website that ya'll have placed your faith in the greatest physician of all time, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We're praying for Mikes full recovery, we've added him to our on going prayer list at our church. We're praying for Ericka and the family that God will give her the strenght she needs to help see Mike home again. I preached tonight about God's grace, don't ever forget that His grace is sufficient, just put your trust and faith in Him. Sonny if there's anything we can do just give us a call. Mike Polk, Cleco Mandeville.
