So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. You may find comfort in the hope the Bible holds out for our loved ones at Psalms 37:29 which says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." When the earth is cleansed of current troubled conditions, it will be restored to a paradise like the Garden of Eden as God originally purposed. Then there will be no more osrrow 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 passages will bring you a measure of solace in your time of loss.
