I will never forget the first sermon preached after Mickey left FUMC. Kirk was about 4 and acting really bad in "Big" church. I took him out and headed to the bathroom to "wear him out" and he started crying. I said, "Kirk why are you acting so bad today", He said "I just can't be good since Bro Mickey is gone." Ya'll have been missed since you left Covington and we'll miss more now. My prayers are with you and the girls. Sincerely, Debbie Winberry
Dear Marsh, Michelle and Megan. Mickey has brightened so many lives. I used to see him out fishing when Keith and I would be at Wardlow Pocket. He caught more fish than we did. He and I had many good conversations and I expect to have more. Roy Wrather
To the Carpenter family; You are in my thoughts and prayers. I met Mickey during my Dad's, Rev Buddy Russ, last year on earth. And to remember him as he took part in Dad's going home celebration. What a joy to have met one of Dad's special friend and fellow pastor. May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hands. Steve Russ, Dale City VA
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Marsha, Megan, Michelle! Mickey presided over my marriage and baptized both of my children in Covington...he is truly a precious part of my past! Tim said just a few weeks ago how he missed Mickey's booming voice in our services...and his fishing stories!
I'm sorry to hear about Bro. Mickey. Our prayers are with you and your family. When we were married in 1988 in Benton, KY he did the service. Our thoughts are with you during these hard times. Love, Lauri and Stuart Wyatt
Mickey, Mildred, Ventrice and Emmastine ALL together!! Heaven will never be the same! Marsha, Megan, Michelle, Ben and Charlotte-God gave you His FINEST when He gave you Mickey-he will be missed! Those of us who were blessed to have him in our lives are better people because of him and his ministry. I will see you soon! God Bless!
Marsha, Michelle and Megan - I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. You are in my thoughts.
