Steve and family,
We cannot possibly understand all your heart is going through right now and all our words are inadequate at such a time as this as grief is unlike any other kind of hurt. We love you and we are carrying you in our prayers to the only One able to comfort you. We are grieving with you. May the GOD OF ALL COMFORT wrap you in His loving arms and hold you close and multiply His comfort and peace towards you.
