We have many fond memories of Mike through the years. His sense of humor was marvelous. Our sons were always happy to see Mike when he visited St. Louis, because he was funny and took an interest in them. And John appreciated Mike being his godfather. Also, we all have our "Arnold Collection" of Christmas ornaments to remind us of Mike every Christmas. He will be missed.

After God removes wickedness and suffering, the earth will be transformed into a paradise. Then people will be able to live forever in perfect health and happiness. God’s Word foretells: “[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Revelation 21:4.
In that new world, even dead ones will be brought back to life to share in those blessings: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) That is why Jesus Christ could tell a repentant evildoer who expressed faith in him: “You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43.
I HOPE THESE VERSES PROVIDE SOME COMFORT DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME
