Condolences
I just wanted to send my condolences to Mr. Shuman's family. I worked for him and his wife years ago when they had a Christian bookstore in Mannington. They were always so kind and Mike always had a smile on his face. I think Shelby was just a baby then. Just wanted to send you my memory of them. I'm sorry for your loss
Wow!
Just this afternoon I was looking up a phone number and saw Mikes name and
number.
I called and left message.
It has been awhile since I talked to Mike. I knew he had serious health issues.
But he is NO longer fighting, for he is in a much better place. PTL!
Will someday talk face to face with Mike.
Regards to Mikes family.

I was Mike's pastor in Mannington when he was a teenager. He often went with me on Saturdays to make pastoral calls. He called me years ago when he pastored in Oklahoma. What a joy he was! We don't say "good-bye" but "see you later!"
