2 Corinthian 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. May the Comforter always be with you in your time of need.

So sorry to hear about your husband. I am a friend of Valerie's and was with her when she found out and talked with you. May you take comfort in the scriptures of a resurrection John 5:28,29 and the comfort Jehovah can give 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
