Michael Steven Lee, We, the New Zion Baptist Church family, would like to extend our love and condolences to you in the loss of your son, brother and loved one, who God saw that the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed Bro. Lee’s weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace be Thine” on Sunday, August 24, 2014. During this difficult time, we commend you in to the capable hands of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ for God’s Word reminds us that He is a very present help. Know that death is not an end, but a transition to a place free of pain and suffering. The Word of God tells us in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and | will give you rest.” (CSB) Therefore, we know your loss is deep and your sorrow is great; but more importantly, we recognize that this loss is Heaven's gain. It’s our humble prayer that when it is all over, we would like you to remember: “there’s once certain thing in all this, one thing more powerful than the sadness you feel, God’ love is here — to surround you, to strengthen you and to carry you. His love will pierce the darkest hour you walk through to bring hope, comfort and rest to your soul.” Praise the Lord for loaning him to you for 58 years and has now afforded him a home on high.
