To The Family,
As a volunteer minister I read obituary columns on a regular basis. My goal is to make an earnest effort to comfort the surviving family members during their time of mourning. In reading the obituary one can clearly understand why Mr. Michael John Addis will be greatly missed. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him, but it seems that he was the kind of guy that any guy would befriend. But, keep in mind that the Lord Jesus stated that the dead are only sleeping. (John 11:11-14) He also highlighted that he would awaken the dead and bring them to life. (John 5:28-29) In God's new world sickness, old age, and death itself will not exist and all of our deceased loved ones will have the precious opportunity of living forever. (Revelation 21:3,4; Isaiah 25:8; 33:24) I hope that the aforementioned scriptures soften the pain on your aching hearts at this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mr. Terry
