2 Corinthians 5:1 - "When this tent we live in--our body here on earth--is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last for ever." Bob, I hope this verse offers you some comfort and to let you know that you have my deepest sympathy.

Bob,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know Theresa meant the world to you, and though your time together was all too brief, I know you wouldn't trade it for anything. Please know your friends and those who love you grieve with you in your time of sadness. My prayer is that God will grant you peace and comfort like you've never experienced before.

"And I'm glad I didn't know,
The way it all would end
The way it all would go.

Our lives are better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss
The Dance."

I'm glad you didn't miss the dance...
