My deepest condolence to the family, may you find comfort in the memories and in knowing that God is" close to those who are broken at heart, and he saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Paslms34:18) Our loving creator Jehovah God has promised to soon "swallow up (do away with) death forever..(Isaiah 25:8)
