To the family of Mattie McLaughlin: Please accept my sincere condolences. It always hurts to hear the words "leaves behind" because those who are left behind are feeling the pain of their loss. May you be comforted by the words in the Holy writings which promises that God will (one day) "wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more." Such a comforting thought this was to me, and I hope that it can be to you also.
