I wanted to say that I’m sorry for your loss. No doubt Michael will certainly be missed by family and lifelong friends. We need encouraging thoughts to make it through difficult times like these. John 5:28, 29, tells us that there will be a resurrection of our loved ones that have died. Not only will there be a resurrection, but we all have the opportunity to live forever together in a paradise earth. (Psalms 37:29) I hope that these scriptures bring a measure of comfort and peace to you and your family and please accept my deepest condolences.
