Mike,
I am sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him after Tech games, or whenever our paths crossed. He always had a genuine interest in others and their well being.

While grief at the loss of a loved one is great, joy at receiving back a loved one in the resurrection will be greater. (Mark 5:42) God’s Word promises: “Your dead ones will live. (Isaiah 26:19; Acts 24:15) How wonderful that time will be! How satisfying it will be at that time to live in a world where there is no suffering! I'm very sorry for your lose. May God's words seek to comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl
