Sending my love and my prayers for all the family. Mike was a very good man . He loved his family very much. May he Rest In Peace . Ronda Hollingsworth.
Your family has my deepest sympathy. I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of Mr. Brown, someone so beloved. I was thinking of something to say to ease the tremendous pain that your family is suffering. So I compiled this list of scriptures that is sure to bring you comfort in this difficult time: Psalms 55:22; Proverbs 3: 5 & 6; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; James 4:8; and Revelation 21:4. Be strong. Cherish the memories. May the peace of God be with your family always. And, please, remember to call upon his name found at Psalms 83:18.
So very sorry for this great loss to the family. Blessings and peace to all.
So sorry to know that cousin Michael will no longer be around to laugh with us at family gatherings at Thanksgivings and other events. Marnita said “quirky” and we can agree, but he was our own loveable, quirky. and independent guy. He definitely marched to his own drumbeat. Aunt Evelyn remembers that he came to Uncle Elmer’s funeral on crutches — having driven all by himself from Indy. What a heart. The slide show was a wonderful trip down memory lane — and didn’t he look great in a bow tie? Hugs from Nancy and Rich
Sorry to have read about the passing of your loved one. Death is such a terrible and cruel enemy of mankind. I know that at this most painful time there is very little I can say in order to comfort you. However, when you have a moment please reflect on this wonderful promise form our Creator. It says here at Hosea 13:14″ From the power of the grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them.” For more comforting information please visit jw.org
