Mike,
Mere words cannot express the profound dismay and sadness I feel for you and your whole family as you live through this time of great loss. May the love and support of your family and friends bring some small measure of comfort to all of you in this season of grief which together you all must traverse. And may the grace and love of God uphold and strengthen you.
