To the Mathews Family, I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of your dear love one. I know there is a void left within each of you because death hurts, and God did not create us to live a little while and die. Due to the sin of the first human couple, we all grow old, suffer and then die. God sent his Son so that all that's exercising faith in the ransom sacifice will live again and forever. So, what we want to do is put strong faith in the resurrection hope so that we can see our dead love ones again.
So family, know that our Heavenly Father knows the pain that you are enduring and he will give you strength beyond what is normal.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
