"In The Lord's Hands" as Ruidoso Judge Mike Line Passes
Popular  Magistrate Judge Loses Battle With Cancer - Community Mourns Loss
 
 Prayer Breakfast Attendees Pray for Judge & Family
 
(KEDU Radio)
Ruidoso, NM. -
Longtime resident, attorney and Ruidoso Magistrate Judge, Michael S. Line, lost a long-time battle with cancer Thursday morning. According to sources, Judge Line passed just as over 1,300 Lincoln County Prayer Breakfast attendees were praying for him. LCPB Chairman R.B. Holmes had asked the crowd to offer prayers for Judge Line and his family. Holmes said "his journey's end is close at hand." You could hear the many emotions erupt in the crowd during a moment of silence. It was a powerful and fitting close to the morning as the annual prayer celebration came to an end.

Lat month, Line withdrew from running for office again, citing health reasons. Both he and his wife have experienced serious health concerns in the past several years. Line was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer.

Arrangements are being made and will be announced soon. Please keep the Line family in your prayers.
