I send my deepest condolences to the entire Knowles family. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences people go through. Its times like these I like to turn to the bible as a source of comfort. At Revelation 21:3,4 it describes a future where "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." Imagine life without experiencing those terrible things! Not only does the bible talk about eliminating death but God promises to resurrect those who have already died. (John 5:28) I personally look forward to seeing those whom I have lost again. If you want to learn more about this hope I encourage you to look into and study your bible. I also like to use the website www.jw.org to help me understand the bible. Again I send my sympathies to the family and pray for your continued strength.
