I am so sorry for the loss of dear James. During this difficult time, know that our loving Creator, as the "God of all comfort," wants and invites you to "throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) I hope you can also find peace in knowing that one day our enemy "death, is to be brought to nothing." (1 Corinthians 15:26) Please accept my condolences.
