Condolence: I am so very sorry for your loss of Michael. I can't even imagine how difficult this is for the Santos family. May the love of those close to you, and your memories of Michael, help you through this time of sorrow. May Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) God's promise (Titus 1:2) of the resurrection give you hope of being reunited with your dear Michael and other loved ones. (Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29). Soon death will be eliminated forever (Revelation 21:3,4). Please find comfort, as you meditate on these loving promises.

Condolence: I met Mike when he was working and living in the renovated Threadmill Apts. in Connecticut on the Westerly, RI border. He had an endearing and kind manner, as the expression would have it “a real sweetheart” of a person. I became a true friend and confidant. The Bible says death is man’s enemy. But the scriptures indicate that the dead can be resurrected. When Jesus was on earth he proved this by the many resurrections he performed when he was here to give us a hope. I look forward to seeing him again on a cleansed earth. You can read about God’s wonderful future plans on JW.org
