My deepest condolences to your family during this difficult time. Proverbs 16:31 relates "Gray hair is a crown of beauty when it is found in the way of righteousness." Although someone lives a long life, this does not ease the sorrow that death brings to family and friends. May our Heavenly Father, Jehovah, give you the strength needed, the peace desired and the comfort that comes from Him during this difficult time.
