Please accept my sincerest condolences and prayers on the loss of your husband, father, friend and colleague. It is so difficult to lose a loved one and words will never take away the sorrow and the grief and we can only pray it gets better with time. My prayer is that you allow the LORD to comfort you in this time and that you allow the memories to be a time-filled treasure.
