Hi Connie,
I was so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Mike. Although I never had the chance to meet him, I remember you spoke about him often at school. And of course, we still have the sign he made for our cottage. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Please accept my condolences on your loss.
I found comfort in the hope the Bible offers for our loved ones at Psalms 37:29 which says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
We are assured by God in His Word the Bible, that after the earth is cleansed of current troubled conditions, it will be restored to a paradise like the Garden of Eden as He originally purposed. Then our loved ones can return (by resurrection) to life on earth in good health. (Isaiah 33:24)
Then there will be no more sotrrow or pain as we are promised at Revelation 21:4. It reads, "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
I hope these words will bring you a measure of solace in your time of loss.
