Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.David Assael
This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Michael Mims Sr. who was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 14, 1954 and went to his Lord on June 1, 2010 after a long and courageous battle with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Baytown, Texas.. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Dearest Husband,
I thank you with all of my heart for sharing this journey called life, I'll be forever grateful That I was blessed to be your wife, Grateful to have held your hand, To have loved you throughout the years, Amidst life's joys and challenges, In times of happiness and tears, Blessed to have built a life with you, To have created a family, For our love, and that of our children means everything to me, I can hardly accept you've been taken away, I can hardly bear the thought of facing the future without you here, I'm still not sure how I'll get through this loss yet I'm comforted knowing how much you love us, And I'm certain you're still watching over us, Staying nearby and caring for us. And though you may be gone, I'll carry on trusting to see you again. Waiting til God reunites us in heaven, And brings me back to you, sweetheart and friend, Until then
I thank you, dearest husband, For all you've meant to my life, I'm so grateful God made us a family, and for the blessing of being your wife.
A Moment of Praise
I understand the importance of thanking God for the things we receive.
Gratitude is an eternal virtue. In humility we must ask and in gratitude we should receive.
The more we thank God for the blessings we receive, the more we open the way for further blessings.
His desire to bless us is full to overflowing if we will open our hearts and minds to receive his blessings, we too will be filled to overflowing. We will know that he lives.
We may become like the angels themselves, helping others who are in need.
In prayerand service our lights will always shine, service is the oil to our lamps, generated by compassion and love.
For year's I have felt God's spirit as I pour out my heart and receive his sacred gentle answers....
Anyplace becomes sacred when prayerful words are spoken, and God, in answer fills the heart amd mind with Holy Love and Light.
