    I am very sorry for your loss. May precious memories help to make the days bearable. “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) My prayers are with you that this hope will also be yours and will bring you comfort and peace.
