I am deeply sorry for your loss. Remember that when you draw close to God, he will draw close to you (James 4:8).

I worked for George Brinkman at Kraft in the 80's. He was a wonderful person and boss to me. I remember him saying, "When you can finally afford steak, your doctor says not to eat steak." Please accept my sympathy.
