My deep condolences. No matter, whether given time to prepare for a death, or if it is sudden and unforeseen, the loss is still great. I pray for the comfort of God to give you rest. "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." Numbers 6: 24 - 26
