I knew Mike and Faye, when I lived in Chester and was a member of BUMC. I visited often at their beautiful home and darling dog. Living in Florida, has keep me distant, but not far from my heart. After Faye’s passing, I would send funnies and thinking of E cards to Mike, knowing he missed his lovely wife.
May the family of Mike Arthur, know how much myself and many others cared with love and friendship.
I give annually to wounded warriors and will note in memory of Mike at my next gift to this wonderful charity.
In prayers and loving thoughts,
June Weaver
