My dear family. Sorry about your loss. When the enemy death strikes, the sting of death can be very painful, and can leave us with emotions that are hard to understand. Know that when you pour out your heart to God (Psalms 83:18) in prayer, He will give you that Peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your thinking and your heart. May the family stay together during this difficult times.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to your family. I had just talked to your mom and wished her Happy Birthday and she told me how much she missed your dad.
