My condolences to you, and I hope that these promises will bring comfort and support in this time of sorrow. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8. Peace be with you dear family.
So sorry to hear of your loss…your family is in my prayers.
