I was saddened to hear about Mike. I knew him many years ago and he was a nice guy. May God be with your family during this time of need.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:28,29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".
