I pray that the Ahokas Family recovers well from this sad sad loss. I'm sure that you can't wait for the day that you see Richard again. In the Bible book of Job Chapter 14:14,15 it brings us comfort in knowing that God yearns to bring our loved ones back to life also. Continue praying. I hope this brings you comfort & hope.
