I wish to express my sincere sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. Please keep in mind the comfort that God offers when we face any kind of distress. Also, he is a refuge and strength for us, a help that is readily to be found during difficult times (Psalm 46:1). As you endure the days ahead, may God give you peace and comfort you through all your pain and sorrow. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
