I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss of Lawrence. Something that has always comforted me is the promises from our creator Jehovah God. Rev. 21:4 say “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” Then at Acts 24:15 we are assured we will be reunited with our loved ones we have lost. I hope this brings you comfort as well. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
