When someone loses a mate, it is said that this stress surpasses all others. May the God of all comfort provide the particular needed comfort for this one - for there is no tragedy so great that our heavenly Father cannot comfort us.....Further, may all grieving be comforted, strengthened, and provide endurance during this distressful time...
