My deepest condolences to the family for your loss. May your hearts find comfort in knowing that Jehovah God cares for us, he tell us to throw our anxieties upon him -1Peter 5:7. One day soon, we will reap the many benefits of his son Jesus Christ sacrificial death and resurrection -John 3:16. One day soon, all suffering and death will be no more -Revelation 21:3, 4.

Barbara and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I found this poem, author unknown, I hope it will help as you reflect on the wonderful life you and Mayo shared together.

Smile because he Lived

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back,
or you can do what he would want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Dearest Barbara and family,
Our hearts are heavy tonight and thinking of the loss that you are feeling now. What a sweet, gentle man. I am so happy of the brief visit that we had recently. He seemed in good spirits and feeling comfortable. We thought so much of him, and, so privileged to be joined together by family.
May GOD pour out his grace on you and lift you up to carry on.
We love you.

I am so sorry, Barbara for your loss. There aren't any words to be said that can take away the emptiness you are feeling. I can just say, if you can stay focused on the Lord, the strength from him will be overwhelming. God bless you and your family.
