So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And 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".

My deceased husband, Henry King ADORED his cousin Sue. We visited Shelby and Sue often, and they always made us feel so welcome in their home. After Henry quit smoking, he tried hard to convince Sue that SHE also needed to quit, and SUE would shake her head and say (in that slow, very southern drawl), "Now Henry, you've gotta let me alone about that!". Of all of his cousins, Sue was my absolute favorite, mainly because she was genuine, generous, and gentle.....and not easily provoked. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known Sue. Condolences to the family.
