Mike,
Again, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about Lauren’s death, but also, to rejoice with you in her homegoing. What a blessing it was to hear you praising God in the midst of your deep sorrow. God’s grace is so amazing that we can rejoice in the midst of sorrow. May the deep hurt and pain that you are feeling now be tempered by His great love and the knowledge that if He lives in your heart and she is now with Him, then she cannot be very far away! May God’s loving arms surround you and lift you up.
In His Love,
Gretchen
