Hi, Whatley's!

Even though Mike and Donni Whatley were only in Bayou Gauche as our pastor,for a short time, I feel like they were the closest friends the Stinnetts ever had.

I will never forget three things that Mike dreamed about during the time I was privileged to know him. He was constantly dreaming about having grandkids, Shanna and Aimee fulfilled that one, and he was so proud of those kids. He always said to me he wanted a place a little ways out of town, in the country; he got that. He also wanted a small camper , so he and Donni could get away for some R and R , for the most part, these dreams were realized as well. Mike was a man that I could trust with my most personal thoughts, and he was closer to me than my own brothers. Mike spent many years here on earth waiting for a new liver, now he is in heaven with Jesus, waiting for his whole body and his family.

I can go own, there is so much more, the time he went with some of the men of the church to Mississippi to help a retired minister do some repairs on his home, and Mike being sick. Two of things we will not forget, the baby dedication of our little granddaughter Selena, and he came back to Community Assembly to preformed the wedding ceremony of our son, Shawn and daughter -in-law Felicia.

God Bless You Guys, We Love Ya
