Jane, Jeanie and I were sadden to hear that Michael had passed away. Michael was very special and was the love of your life. Loosing someone so close is a very hard thing to accept. We can only imagine what you are going through and how hard it must be to bare. Our Heavenly Father knows too well the feelings that you are experiencing at this time, for He too lost a Son in death. At Revelation 21: 3&4 He promised to do away with death and that soon we would see our loved ones again. We all faithfully await that time and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
