So sorry for your loss. As each day passes reflect on the love you had and the times spent creating memories, until you can make new ones when you see Edward again. John 5 : 28 says, " Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. "
