Jackson County has lost an outstanding musical ambassador, whose career and community involvement have touched the lives of many residents. The event will take place at 2 PM on Saturday, March 2, in the sanctuary of Sylva First Baptist Church. Several ensembles will present music in honor of Mike’s memory, representing some of his interests. The tributes will include the Sylva Bells, the Carolina Consort, the Christian Harmony Singers, a solo by life-long friend, Diana Fisher, and a choir drawn from the memberships of the Sylva FBC Sanctuary Choir, and the Western Carolina Community Chorus. The public is cordially invited to attend. A reception will follow in the Mission and Fellowship Center, where the family will greet friends.
