I would like to express my heartfelt condolences for your families great loss. Please take comfort in drawing close to God in prayer, knowing that he cares about you and is there to help you cope (Psalm 34:17,18, Philippians 4:6,7). Someday soon there will be no more death and we will live on an earth where God will fulfill our every desire (Psalms 37:29). Until that time, I pray that those close to the departed find strength and comfort in each other.
