Pastor Jim Warren baptized Mike at
Ridgeway Alliance Church, where his
funeral was held.

From one of Mike's favorite songs:

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"

From "I Will Rise" by Chris Tomlin
