At this time of sorrow, may these truths sustain you...

The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.

Your loved one will always be as close as a memory, and the God of all comfort will always be as close as a prayer.

May knowing you're in the hearts and thoughts of your extended family help you and yours through this time of sorrow.
