"I read about the death of your loved one. I am sorry for your loss. Death is never easy, and it bring so much sorrow. In the days, weeks, and years go by it will always be something to remind us of our loved one. Our heavenly Father knows about the pain we are going through. Jehovah Is the God of "tender mercies, and all comfort He will cradle you in his arms and make you firm at this difficult time. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you James:4:8."
