My prayers are with you at this time. I know the deep pain you are going through at this time. My young brother passed away suddenly on June 29th. God truly is our only comfort and He gives more grace when the burdens grow greater. There will be days you can't imagine living one more moment without him. But hold fast to his memories and although the family will never be the same he will always be with you.
