Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God's Word refers to death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
