I am very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and support from family and friends, as well as from our Heavenly Father, the Most High God over all the earth. (Psalm 83:18) He is "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials". (2 Cor. 1:3, 4) Trust and lean on Him during your time of grief and afterward and He will make you strong. (1 Pet. 5:10)

My deepest condolences to the Raeford family:
May you find some comfort in the Gift that the Most High God has given us, yes His written word the Bible (Psalms 83:18 & 2Timothy 3:16). I would like to share a few Scriptures that helped us to cope when our precious daughter died and recently my beloved husband of 50 years fell asleep in death: (Isaiah 25:8)swallow up death, (Isaiah 33:24)no more sickness, (John 5:28, 29)seeing loved ones again, (2Corinthians 1:3) yes God can comfort us, to deal with present situations. But, He also says where we can see our loved ones again at Psalms 37:11 and how long Psalms 37:29. I hope that these few Scriptures were of some comfort to you as they were to me.
