God has a special place in heaven for Mike. His heart was always open as was the door to his home. He cared deeply for his family and the community in which he and Gail raised their family. Mike was not on the sidelines, he was in the game. Mike’s sincerity was comforting. Mikes devotion was admirable. Mike will be in our hearts forever. God Bless the Purcell family
