May these words bring a small bit of solace to the family : Isaiah 61:2 "Comfort all who mourn" The apostle Paul noted one manifestation of that love when he described Our Creator. Also at 1 Thessalonians 5:14 The God of all comfort. "speak consolingly to the depressed souls. It is God's desire for humans to receive comfort. how wonderful it is to know that our creator has that much love for us!
