Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

With heartfelt sympathy. It will be the little things that you will remember; the quiet moments, the smiles, and the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. May Almighty God sustain you.
