Dear Thomas, my heart felt condolences to you and your children. I just want to say , let your faith in Jesus grow and trust in His love and promises!
Jesus will wipe away every tear one day when we truly believe and love Him.

So I pray you all will find courage and a peace that is beyond all understanding that only comes from Jesus' heart. May this peom move you all closer to Him.

O tender love
move my spirit deeper
add more oxygen to my passions fire
raise my desire

Inspire my courage and bravery
Come and quench the frail hour
Come with Thy Holy Power
For You are my provider

Bring the darkness into the light
where there's no more sins
no more doubts
and no more fears

O tender love
Refine and purge my earthly ways
Inflame my heart so it won't stray
For You have wiped all my tears, away
