My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

My Sincere condolence to the family.  Losing a loved one is heartbreaking, as it was never a part of our Heavenly Father's purpose for mankind.  May you take comfort in God's promises for the future, to bring an end to suffering, pain and death.  (Revelation 21:4) and to  resurrected those whom we've lost ( Acts 24:15).   May these promises give you inner peace and strength to cope with the days ahead.
John and Lynell Fischer Gone too soon... December 23, 2017
 
We will never forget the beautiful mother you were to your children, the kind heart you had toward others, and your stradfast spirit!
It’s difficult sometimes to understand all the why’s, but we continue to place our hope in the One Lover of our souls, Jesus Christ.  
We pray that the children will be comforted in this great loss and they will somehow fully understand it’s only temporary!  May God
be their biggest source of comfort, always.   We send our deepest condolences and prayers with much love.
