It’s been a weird day. Earlier, your Aunt Terri and I realized it’s been ten years since you’ve been gone. We often wonder what your life would be like now had you been able to hang around. You’d probably be married and have a couple of kids, like your brother and sister. Your life would be good and full of joy. Know you are missed.

So sorry, I am praying for you! I haven’t lost any of my nieces or nephews yet and thank God each day for his mercy since I can only truthfully know that one of my nephews and one of my nieces is ready to go! I can’t imagine what your family has went through these past years! My family has suffered loss, but it is other family members from my brother, grandmother, both parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! Some were sudden, but only a few!

Very sorry to hear of her passing.
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:4, NASB)
One day we will be with Him where there is no night, no grief, no sorrow nor despair. We will rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ and see those who have gone before us.
In the meantime, Emmanuel has sent the Comforter to be with us.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:16, KJV)
Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all! (2 Thessalonians 3:16, NASB)
