During such grievous times words seem to be of little comfort. Our Heavenly Father who created us, has the desire and the ability to undo the effects of death. At Hosea 13:14 he promises to empty the graves of our loved ones. Our tears of pain will be replaced with tears of joy! My hope is that God will strengthen you, and give you a measure of comfort and peace until His promise is realized.

Condolences and prayers be with you all through this trying time, put your faith in God for comfort.
