Saddened how quickly one family's life can be changed so instantly. I can't think of any words......just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in God's promises "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4. Psalm 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.' Matthew 5:5 "Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth." Our sincere condolences.
