Sorry for your great lost. May knowing that there are others who care, give you a measure of comfort. May the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, give you the needed strength to endure in this time of such deep sorrow. John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."
