Not sure what to say?

My precious Uncle -- Will be missed....

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. There is little that I can say or do to ease your pain and suffering. May knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, bring a measure of comfort. Life is so short and those we love are gone from our lives too quickly. God's promise to empty the grave in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14, may the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow.

With heartfelt sympathy! May God give you and the family both peace and comfort in this time of need!
