My condolences to the loved ones of Candy: It’s true that death brings sorrow and tears, and it is hard to adjust to the absence of a loved one. However, 2 Corinthians 4:7 reminds us that God gives power beyond what is normal to help us where needed and there is great hope in the beautiful promise at Revelation 21:4 when death and pain will be gone forever. May you have peace from Almighty God (1Timothy 1:2) M. Louise
