I am grieved to hear of “Uncle” Mike’s passing, but I take comfort in the fact that it is a passing through death into everlasting life in the presence of Christ. Mike was a devoted husband and father and a wonderful friend to my parents. From an early age, he modeled for me the faithfulness, graciousness and compassion of the Christian life, especially through the continual challenges with his health. Most of all, he has served as a potent testament to the harsh but necessary reality that the way of the Cross often comes with hardship and suffering, greater than we can possibly bear on our own merits and strength alone, but all the same is enclosed within the deeper reality of a God who died and rose for us. May his memory be a blessing, and I look forward to the eternal reunion of a restored creation. My prayers are with Lynn, Alison, Andrew and the rest of Mike’s family and friends. May the Lord whose Cross opened the way to Paradise give you comfort and peace in this time of sorrow, and prove His promises to be true.
