It is not very often we get to hear of someone living such a long full life, as the Psalmist describes - "with special mightiness." May your memories bring you joy while you are sustained by the God of comfort in this time of distress. Love from God and those around you will help you through the days ahead as you begin to recover gradually from the pain. Please accept my deepest sympathies, there are no words powerful enough to express sorrow for your loss.
