Dear Sue,
I am on vacation in South Carolina and was checking the obituaries and couldn't believe that Mike had passed away. He was such a swell guy and I know you two were devoted to each other. I won't be home in time for the funeral but I will be thinking of you and praying for you.
Much love!!

I am sorry to read about the passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. When unforeseen occurrences befall us, and the enemy death strikes our grief can be great It is at times like this that we need comfort and support whether we are acquainted or not. I have found the Bible to be very comforting in this regard. At Revelation 21: 3, 4, our Heavenly Father has promised, in the near future that “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes, in the near future, our Heavenly Father has also promised that there will be a resurrection: “and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous..." What a grand reunion that will be! You and I have the prospects of seeing our love ones again under the best condition possible, a beautiful Paradise earth; God’s original purpose for mankind. All of God's promises will come true, for it is impossible for Our Heavenly Father Jehovah to lie. Please look up the cited scriptures in your personal copy of the Bible. Once again, you have my sincere condolences -John 5:28 & 29, Psalms 37:29, Luke 23:43, Hebrews 6:18
