Oh, Dorothy, I am so sorry to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Here is a poem to help comfort you. He passed away like morning dew Before the sun was high; So brief his time, he scarcely knew The meaning of a sigh. As round the rose its soft perfume, Sweet love around him floated; Admired he grew-while mortal doom Crept on, unfeared, unnoted. Love was his guardian Angel here, But Love to Death resigned him; Though Love was kind, why should we fear But holy Death is kinder? Hartley Coleridge, writer and poet (1796 – 1849)
You and your family are in our prayers. Be assured Michael is in the arms of his Savior and rejoicing despite the grief present here on earth. The Lord be especially with you today and always.
Our condolences. We knew Michael as a happy and enthusiastic kid. We will remember him and his happiness at your pumpkin carving parties! We wish you lots of strength in coping with your loss. Wim and Floortje Maaike, Jaap, and Pieter
