My husband and I would like to express our deepest condolences for your loss, it's never easy when a dearly loved one passes away. You might take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4 which says "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” We hope this scripture gives you some peace, as it did for us when we went through loss. May you find strength during this hard time.
