May the love of Family, friends and above all our Almighty Heavenly Father give you comfort and strength. And peace as in the promise in Revelation 21:4 And 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.”
