Funeral service will be at Holloway Memorial Funeral Home, 2502 NC Hwy 55, Saturday, May 18, 2019, at 1:00 pm, visitation at 12:00 pm.
To the family and friends: We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one. May you find strength and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress."
Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old or die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11).
Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us.
You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
God strengthens us by giving us "the power beyond what is normal" to make it through each passing day. Psalm 46:1 says: "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress. Nahum 1:7; God is "a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of ["takes care of"] those seeking refuge in him." Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7)
Sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. When I think of losing a loved one as you have, it brings to mind the promise that the Bible holds out at Revelation 21:3,4 where it says that the Grand Creator Jehovah God will wipe away sickness and death forever and reunite us with our loved ones on a clean earth in the near future.(John 5:28,29; Psalms 83:18) Please remember that God cares about what you are going through now. God loves you and will help you get through this difficult time. jw.org---(Website for more encouragement.)

My condolences to the family of Michael. Psalm 55:22 reminds us that we can throw our burden on God and He will help us.
Michael was a very loving and caring person who would always make me smile. He was always concerned about how I felt, how the family was doing and when he walked away, he would always say take care of yourself, see you next time, Michael was a true inspiration. I will truly miss seeing his smiling face. My sincere condolences to the family. Irene
