We offer our family's condolences to you for your loss. It is never easy to understand God's ways but if we could only see what waits for us in eternity, nothing in this life would trouble us. Believe this way without seeing and your reward will be a thousand times greater. The things of this world are temporary, but things like love, faith, and our families do go with us into eternity and last forever. Nick's name will be enshrined on our family altar where he will receive our daily prayers for both him and all of his family and siblings. And remember that he himself can also now assist us with his prayers and his ability to do this is limitless. He will be in a position of strength from this day forward.
