I wanted to express my condolences on your recent loss. I have found comfort in the Bible promise of a future ressurection (Acts 24:15) Death, and all it's accompaniments will be done away with (1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:4). I hope that this hope can bring you solace during this difficult time (Psalm 119:76)
