Please accept my deepest sympathies, there are no words powerful enough to express sorrow for your loss. However, even in the face of tragedy you can have hope. God will comfort you and give you peace at this critical time so do not let your hearts be troubled and rely on the God of comfort. (John 14:27) Love from God and those around you will help you through the days ahead as you begin to recover gradually from the pain.
