Please accept our deepest condolences during this most difficult time. While nothing will completely take away your grief, we have found the scripture at Revelation 21:4 to be especially comforting where it promises that soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and pain and death will be no more. May God comfort all of you and give you peace in the days ahead. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
