I am sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that the Bible reveals God’s purpose to restore the dead to life by means of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and death will be no more. Jesus said: “The hour is coming in which all those in the graves shall hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:1-4. I hope you find some comfort in this promise.

My heart is heavy in hearing this news. Mike was like a little brother to me. We have so many great memories living in Hazelwood. He has always had a gentle spirit. I know he has found peace and happiness. May God comfort his family in this time of sadness. My mother Kay Ferguson sends her sympathy as well.

Heartfelt sympathy to Jade and all of Mike's family. Lunker is part of some great Geneseo memories. Here's to knowing Thor was at the gates to welcome him home on Saturday.
