I recently read about the loss of your dear loved one. Although we are not acquainted personally please accept my condolences. Psalms 90:10 says ‘in themselves the days of our years are seventy years; and it’s because of special mightiness they are eighty years…’ Amazing! Cherish the memories and the times you shared. May the God of comfort continue to be with you during this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Will keep you in my prayers.
