I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you have shared. The loss of a loved one is almost too much for us to bear because it was never God’s purpose for us to endure this pain. Let him be your strength in this difficult time and take comfort in the words found in his word (Psalm 46:1, Revelation 21:4). With my sincerest sympathies.

Mike, We are so sorry for your loss. Dale and I often commented how happy you two were. Years ago, we were behind you in our vehicle, and laughed because you both were obviously laughing and having a wonderful time together as you drove along. Please know you are in our thoughts.
