My heart and prayers go out to Denise's family for their loss. May you find Gods comfort through prayer during this difficult time.

Jeremiah 29: 11-14 “‘For I myself well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward YOU,' is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give YOU a future and a hope. And YOU will certainly call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to YOU.' “‘And YOU will actually seek me and find [me], for YOU will search for me with all YOUR heart. And I will let myself be found by YOU…”

God will comfort those who look for him through prayer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm very sorry for your loss.
