Hello Becky, I’m so sorry about Michael. Such a sudden and tragic loss! I know, however, that you are comforted knowing that he is in our Father Jehovah’s memory and that when his son Jesus starts resurrecting our dead loved ones in the New Earth, you will be able to hold Michael again all soft and warm in your arms. John 5:28, 29 quotes Jesus promising us: “Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the graves will hear his voice and come out”. Thinking of you with love, Pat
Still thinking about you Rebecca, Darrell, and Xavier and any others in your family who have been touched sadly by Michael’s untimely death. It is no wonder that the Bible calls death an “enemy” and refers to it as “stinging” us. But happily as first Corinthians 15:26 says, God and Jesus will soon bring this old enemy to nothing. In the New World we can look forward to never again having to read sad obituaries of pain and loss, instead the reports issued will be dates of coming joyous resurrection’s when Jehovah God and and his powerful son and king priest Jesus Christ will see to it that we are reunited with our precious love ones in a beautiful restored paradise earth, never to have to fear the enemy death, ever again throughout eternity! Tender thoughts, Pat
I’m sorry about your loss. I met you in the ministry. John 5:28,29 is a very comforting scripture.
You and your family will be in my prayers.

Expressions of sympathy for Michael’s family.
While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one. God sees everything, he hears the groans of oppressed and revives the hearts of the crush. May God sustain you at this time of great loss.
