My thoughts are with you, and my prayers are for comfort and peace as you mourn such an untimely and great loss. My favorite quote in times like this is “God gave us memories, that we might have Roses in December.” I pray that, in time, your tears turn into smiles and your sadness into gladness as you fondly remember the good times, and that you will have many, many “roses in December.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
In sympathy and love,
