My prayers are with your family in your time of sorrow. I know you can find a bit of comfort in knowing that she is walking with Jesus, free of pain and illness, but that doesn't fill the ache of empty arms. Turn to the Lord and he will sustain you when you don't think you can take any more.
I am really sorry that I didn't have a chance to spend time with Jennifer, I am poorer for that missed opportunity.
