My thoughts and Prayers are with you Henry, Gillian and Christopher. I have only met Sara a few times at Henry's work functions but she was always full of humor and kind words. I wish I would of had a chance to get to know her better. I am so sorry for your families loss. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It may be comforting to know that God cares for each and every one 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."
I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
