Mike was always buggin' me about just "giving him" my old trike., so he could go tooling around the country side. Finally, one day as we were working at his house, he decided that since I wouldn't give him my scooter, that I should take him for a ride through east Texas. That ended the work plan for the day. He got on behind me (he barely fit)...I told him he looked like a big old frog. It was really a tight fit for him, but away we went. We looked like the odd couple zipping along those country roads. I know people got a kick outta seeing such a sight. We had fun though. We didn't accomplish much work that day, but I think Mike really had a good time. I am forever glad we did that.
Mike and Donni were at our house one day for a "country" meal. Helen fried Green tomatoes, fried squash, fried okra and purple hull peas. I grilled some butterfly pork chops. We pigged out, I tell you! I have never seen any body gobble up supper the way Mike did. If fun is eatin' - then Mike was "elated!" Another time we had "Omlets in a bag."
We enjoyed being with both of ya'll so very much. We always had a good time. I won't ever forget our night out at Posadas, then to a movie. We saw "Wild Hogs," and I thought at any moment some one would tell us to shut up all that laughing. I thought we were going to get sick we were laughing so hard. That was a night to remember.
All the times we got to spend with ya'll are treasured memories. Thank you both for being our friends. It made me feel so good to hear Mike laugh.
And then, suddenly it seems, God called you home, even though we were praying so hard for you to be healed. We don't understand it at all, but He is our God, and, now Mike, you ARE HEALED. Just like you used to tell me, "Well if HE doesn't heal me on this earth, then HE will heal me in Heaven."
Even knowing that you are with Jesus and that all is well, we still miss you so very much............we love you, Mike and Donni.
Your friends,
Jerry and Helen Harris
