As a parent we should never have to say goodbye to a child like this. My deepest condolences to the entire family. Please find hope in the promise at Acts 24:15 "I have hope toward God.........that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". Soon you will be reunited with your dead loved ones. The bible promises that sickness and death will be no more (Rev. 21:4). May the God of comfort give you strength as we await that day.Sharrrese Sanders
