    The passing of a dear loved one, is always very difficult for the family. Sorry for your loss. May you all find comfort through prayer, to “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.” (Psalms 55:22, 1 Peter 5;7).
