In this time of sorrow it is hard to find the words to express what you're feeling now. But it is comforting to know that your heavenly Father knows your pain. He lovingly says "here I am. I myself will search for my sheep and care for them."(Ez 34:11) My condlences to the family and friends.

Joan,
We are so sorry and saddened to hear of your father's passing. He is at peace now. I thought a lot of your Dad, and he was always good to me as I was growing up. We are sorry that we won't be able to attend the funeral, but our thoughts are with you and your your Mother.

I am sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your loved one. Life will be quite a challenge without them in our lives and adjustments may be difficult at times. The emotional pain and utter feelings loneliness even though you're in a room full of friends and relatives can be overwhelming at times. Please, know this dear family that our Heavenly Father is a strong refuge for those grieving because of the loss of a family member or even friend. He is near to those crushed at heart and broken in spirit. (Psalms 9:9). May the scriptures be a source of comfort to you during this difficult time.
