See You Later

Mike,
You were a great guy. We don't understand why God does this type of thing. Why did he have to take you so early? Why did you have to go? Didn't God have more work for you to do here so you could stay and share yourself with the rest of us for just a while longer? Why did you have to go? These are the questions that we will ask for a while. But we must always remember that God has a much better plan in mind than we think. No matter what happens to us, we must always remember this. God has a bigger plan in motion. We don't understand why these things happen, and sometimes we question or doubt, but God always has something better in mind. Mike, we will always remember you and the joy you brought. Even though we miss you dearly, we know that you are in a far better place than we could ever imagine. A better place than any of us could imagine.
I am reminded of the song sung by the Nelons, "Christians Never say Goodbye."

Christians never say goodbye,
We only move to our home on high,
Free from pain and never die,
With Jesus we will reign,
A wife may lose her husband,
Or a mother lose her child,
Whatever the case we all can say,
Christians never say goodbye.

Thank you for leading the way Mike, I will follow you home.
I will never say goodbye Mike. I will see you in heaven!
