Comforting God,

You have promised that You are near to the broken-hearted. We ask that Teresa and her family might sense Your peaceful presence with them in these days and weeks ahead.

May they find comfort as they remember the happy memories they shared with "Ziggy". May they find comfort and glimmers of hope even as they look to the future.

May they sense Your arms of love holding them.

In Jesus name we pray
