To the family we send our deepest condolences. Losing a Loved One is a heartbreaking experience.It's comforting knowing that God promises a future in which not only won't we feel the pain of losing a Loved One, but we won't even remember how it felt. Isaiah 65:17 Please be uplifted by our Creator's words. Everything will be alright.
