Thanks so much for the update!
Please let Ericka know we are still praying for them :)
A new place, new ideas, new stimulation, change will be good, God is in this still....
Ericka,
We are continuing to pray for Mikes recovery, and for you and the family. I pray for the strength of the Lord to be given to you each and everyday. I pray for your safe travel on the highways now that Mike is in New Orleans. My family and I live only 40 minutes from New Orleans on the Northshore, if you should ever need anything just give us a call, a place to stay on the weekends or anytime you come down, just call. I worked with Mikes dad at Cleco for many years. I look forward to being able to vist Mike now that he is here, if that is possable. Please call if you should need something.

I was just wondering if Mike had settled in and how things were going? Wanted to check on Ericka and the kids to see how they are holding up to the most recent changes. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call or email us. We will continue to pray for Mike, Ericka and the kids. Thanks for keeping us up to date Sharon.
