Psalm 116:15

"Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints."

Death in itself cannot be precious; it is terrible. It cannot be a precious thing to God to see the noblest works of his hand torn in pieces, his skillful embroidery in the human body rent, defiled, and given over to decay. Death in itself cannot be a theme for rejoicing with God. But death in the case of believers is another matter.
To them, it is not death to die; it is a departure out of this world unto the Father, a being unclothed that we may be clothed upon, a falling asleep, an entrance into the Kingdom. To the saint, death is by no means such a thing as happens unto the unregenerate.
We are grieving here, but he is rejoicing there. May this correct our grief. Tears are permitted to us, but they must glisten in the light of faith and hope. Jesus wept, but Jesus never repined. We, too, may weep, but not as those who are without hope, nor yet as though forgetful that there is greater cause for joy than for sorrow in the departure of our brother. Death, too, we may be sure from this statement cannot be any serious detriment to the believer after all;
it cannot be any serious loss to a saint to die.
Should we die by fierce disease, which shakes the strong man, or by gentle decline, which slowly saps and undermines, it matters not. Should a sudden illness take us, men call it a judgment; but it is no judgment to the believer, for from him all judgments are past, and the true light of God's love shines on him. Die how he may, where he may, and when he may, and let him be in what position he will be when he dies; forever still,
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

When I think of Mike as I knew him several things come to mind. Mike had a warm smile and a good sense of humor. He was a gentleman to work with. I would see him early befor work each morning with a cup of coffee and we would share a word or two.
His pride in his work was easy to see. He was the best asphalt raker I have ever seen. When Mike was given a job he did it right. He was a true craftsman.
Above all else I remember how proud Mike was of his family. He spoke often of his loving wife, children and his beautiful granddaughter. He was so proud of his wife and son working at the hospital. So happy for his daughter and son in law who had a restaurant of there own. His eyes would beam with pride when he spoke of having his grandughter Jett sleep over for the weekend.
This is how I remember a truely great man.
The world is a better place for having had Mike in it.
