I am sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the words found at Psalm 36:9.With you is the source of life. The one who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. So we can be sure to find comfort here in God's words.
Death leaves a heartache only God can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
