Although words seem to say so little, we hope they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss that you are experiencing. May your troubled heart find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. May God's presence ease your trembling spirit and give you rest.

Hold fast to your memories of all the cherished moments of the past, and know that memories keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and thought and always in your heart.

God is your stronghold and He understands. Cast all of your cares on Him...and believe "He Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support." Hebrews 13:5.
