My thoughts & prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. We can take comfort in many verses of the Bible. There will be a time, yet to come, when there will be no more pain, no more tears, & death will be a thing of the past. ( Rev. 21 3,4) What a nice thing that we will be given, to be able to see our loved ones again.
