I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
Dear Bob,
I never met your father, but I probably did meet him through you. He looks remarkably young and slightly mischievous, as the obituary suggests. Still, those final images and words are haunting, I know, to this day. Peace and love.
