My deepest sympathy to the family for a life that ended so soon. We don't know each other, but all of us have lossed a loved one in death. May your hearts find comfort in knowing that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ loves us -John 3:16; Psalms 83:18. Very soon, we will reap the many benefits of Jesus sacrificial death. Jesus promised, all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out -John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:11.29. Rena

My prayers are with you and the Family I love you guys!! Seireana
