May you find comfort in your wife and mothers memories. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life and I certainly hope that the help God can give at this time will make a difference. Although I have not personally met the family I pray the tender mercy that God has always shown be with you now so you will know that you are not alone and may the prayers of others help in some small way to bring you strength and comfort and courage each day. Soon He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord will certainly wipe the tears from all faces… Isaiah 25:8
