May the powerful words written in the bible be able to touch your heart during these emotional and painful moments. Matthew 5:4 reads.. "Happy are those who mourn since they will be comforted." May the father of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to ease the sorrow of your broken heart during the days ahead of you.
