    My condolences to you now and in the days ahead. May you find comfort in knowing that your tears and sorrow are not going unnoticed by the Almighty. . Psalms 34:18 shows he is “near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Death is currently an enemy but not forever (Isa. 25:8 – He will swallow up death forever…And…will wipe away the tears from all faces.”
    But until that time, I hope you are able to fondly reminisce on your wonderful, happy days. Take care
