It is his time to rest, to smile and to join hands with your Mom. He hasn't left you, he's with your Mom in that special place in your heart. So be strong and love one another during this difficult period, for God is with you all the time.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
