My dearest thoughts and sympathies are with the family. God is the "Source of life"---the One who gave life to all living persons is capable of restoring life to someone who has died. Psalm 36:9

To the Family. During this difficult time only God can give us the love and peace that we need. We hope that time can heal the pain that you and your family are going through. 1 John 4:8 says that "God is love". He will help you get through this during this sad time.
