I wish there was something I could say that could heal your broken heart but I can't. But this promise made by our Heavenly Father in Revelation 21:3-5 will heal you in time. And the power Jesus displayed in John 11:1-44 will give you the strenght to go on.

I know Mikey for two year.i talk to Mikey grand mom to make her happy on tuesday.Matthew5 :3say happy are those conscious of their spiritual need."and rev 21:3-4.he will be alive in the new system Paradis. I will keep your family in my prayer.we will miss Mikey a lot . Since Mikey friend Shannon Nicole robinson.

I am sincerely sorry for your tremendous loss. God's promise of a future with no more pain, suffering, nor death, as well as, the promise of the resurrection brings us some comfort during difficult times. (Revelation 21:4 & Acts 24:15) Again, my condolences for your loss, and your pain. www.jw.org
