Condolence From: Cheryl
Condolence: I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Downs family. We find comfort at times like these in the holy scriptures. At 2 Corinthians 1: 3,4, brings out how the father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort comforts us in all our trials which is something we all need. I pray that you can find comfort in the scripture at John 5:28,29 which gives us real hope in the resurrection of being reunited with our dead loved ones.
In the book of Revelations 21:3,4 Jehovah God promises that he will wipe every tear for their eyes and death, suffering and pain will be no more. The former things have passed away.
Look to Jehovah God, the Giver of life who promises “Death will be swallowed up forever” ~ 1Corinthians 15:54. My prayers are with you in this very difficult time.

Condolence: An Overwhelming loss of a truly good man. One of Gods truly beloved works of art -- in His image.
Love and joy -- peace and acceptance -- Mike made everyone feel special. This world lost a million smiles, hugs, and belly laughs Mike had yet to share.

All who were blessed to know him can learn a lot about what it truly means to be a spiritually, deeply devoted husband and best friend to your wife; a truly strong , patient, understanding, loving, and always joyful father and true friend to your children; how to make every friend feel like a brother or sister and how to make every stranger feel immediately acknowledged and accepted unconditionally. His life was a gift to us all.
And Praise God -- we will all sing and dance together again one day. And the song will last forever...

Praising God and praying for His love, mercy, healing and loving comfort to enfold the entire Downs' family.
Our deepest sympathy and love to you all,
Rick & Diana

Condolence: Dearest Ginny and family - Such a day of sadness when Mike was called to heaven. I have known Mike since we were so young, we became the best of friends throughout school years and even though we didn't see or speak to each other often in these past years, it was always like yesterday when I did. Mike was such a character, filled with joy and love for his friends and family. You were the love of his life. Please know my prayers are always with you.
