Greetings to the family members of Mike Knod.
I think of my brother in Christ often and I look forward to seeing him again in the clouds of heaven.
So take comfort in knowing that the blessed day of the rapture is close and we will be together forever very soon.

My God's blessing be with your family during these days of grieve. We know Michael is in a better place with no pain and suffering.
Your cousin In Arkansas, H. DeWayne and Linda Garrett

I am going to miss you dad. Here is some memories or feelings that I would like to share.
Read at the funeral:
I remember when we all use to sleep in a huge bed together and had a playroom, because us girls were scared of the dark. Growing up with both of my parents I can say was better than others had, lots of my friends were raised in broken homes. Being the religious man that my dad was gave my sister and I a religious foundation to stand on that will help us through life. My dad loved to take care of his roses, read the bible, work, and take care of his family the best that he could. I am proud to call Michael Knod, my dad. He never beat or really spanked us, threats with the belt worked just fine.  He was a really loving dad. He really tried to protect us girls growing up and I was the rebellious one (I guess every family has one). But he did not give up on me. My family really gave me the drive to better myself after making the mistakes that I had made. I really wish I had spent more time with dad, I really didn't think that his days were numbered like they ended up being. As an adult I still work hard to get an education and I really wanted my dad there too at my graduation from Fresno State coming up this May 2014. I know he was proud of me because he would tell me and I am glad I got to do a family tree with him before he left this mortal world. I had no idea that he was suffering with cancer and it is such a shock that will most defiantly cause complicated grief for all that were close to him. He has three grandchildren from my sister and three grandchildren from me. I know that he has left us all behind in this world, but he is no longer in pain. I just wish I would have known that he was getting sick so I could have been around more. It really hurts to know that he is gone forever, but I know that someday I will see him again. I hope he is looking down and knowing that he will never be forgotten and miss very dearly. He really did do his best being a dad even though I was my mom and dads experiment child (being the oldest). I didn't turn too bad. I know in my heart that my dad is proud of me. I also know that when I graduate he will be watching me from heaven. I miss my dad so much already and I feel cheated that he is already gone. I have will never forget all the memories of my dad so he will live forever in my heart. I love you dad.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
