My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family at this most difficult time. Please be assured that God will help you cope with the heavy weight of your loss for Psalms 68:19 says: “Blessed be Almighty God who daily carries the load for us.” May God's comfort bring relief and may you feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends at this time of sorrow.
