Sweet Julie Mangrem went to be with Jesus today.  She is the kind and compassionate wife of Mark Mangrem, who was Mike’s youth pastor and married us alongside Kyle Lake, who also prematurely lost his life in 2005.  These precious young families are losing their loved ones around us right now, and it’s heavy and devastating.  Julie fought cancer as hard as she could and is leaving behind her husband and her two precious little children, Major and Addison.  Please keep their family and friends in your prayers as they mourn.
