	Aimee: Your dad was a wonderful man and we truly feel blessed just to have known him and to have been able to witness the unwavering love he had for you, your mom and Ryan. You now have a true angel in heaven watching over you, Jeff and Grace and we pray that you will find comfort everyday just knowing that. May God give you and your family strength and faith during the days ahead.

	Dear Whatley Family, I just wanted to take a moment to echo my husband's sentiments. We all are so sad to hear about Poppy Whappy. This world just isn't as bright without Mike. We will forever be thankful that we had the blessing and privilege of knowing him. What a generous and loving man! Your family had a huge impact in our lives. We met you when we were just starting our family and I am so thankful for the picture of Christ-likeness you showed us. It has truly been a shining example to us. John and I have always hoped to be like Pastor Mike and Sister Donni "when we grow up." Please know we'll be praying for you all. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your lives with us. With love, Kim Howland

	Dear Donni and family, I only knew you and Pastor Whatley for a short two years but what a wonderful memory that you both left with the people of Community Assembly of God Church in Bayou Gauche. Ladies still come up to me and express the wonderful time we had at our Joy Fellowship. Also , I would like to say "THANKS" for the wonderful words of encouragement. We question God went Pastor Whatley had to reside our church because of his health. But God always knows best even went we can not see the full picture. Your family is awsome. May God bless and keep your all in his care. Love you so much, Janice and Dwight

	Elizabeth (Stonewall, LA) May 25, 2007 Shawn Stinnett (Des Allemands, LA) May 25, 2007 Donni, Shanna, Aimee and Ryan, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Bro. Mike. I was praying for his surgery to go well. I am sad that I can not be there to hug you all and honor him in person. You know that I have always considered you all like family and Mike as a second father. I would be there if there were any way around my current curcumstances. My life has been forever blessed by the spiritual council and fatherly love that Bro. Mike always gave to me. I know that there are countless other lives that have been changed for the better just by Mike being the man he was,weather that was paster, dad, son, husband, grandpa, friend, brother, Uncle, or even Poppy Whappy :) He is one person that there should be no doubt as to his legacy living on. I will be praying for you all and your families. Love, Christie, Kevin and Logan Christie (Port St. Lucie, FL) May 25, 2007 Our prayers are with you.

How I wish there were words. I am praying for you all. I know that I would not be half the person that I am today had it not been for the influence he poured into my life. Generations will be bless by what he has done. All my love. John (Springfield, MO) May 25, 2007 Donni: Mike's at home with the Lord whom he loved & served. May you sense the trimph of one of God's choice servants who has "fought the good fight, finished the course & kept the faith." Words are inadequate to express our feelings to you, but we do want you to know of our loving concern. Heaven becomes more real at a time like this. Our investment on the other side is such that we have much to look forward to. This is our blessed hope! God bless you with His love, His hope, and His strentth. Don & Marjorie (New Orleans, LA) May 25, 2007 Mrs. Donni, I didn't get to know you all that well before this took place, but just remember that GOD will lead the way for you.
