You and your family are in my heart and mind. I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family on the passing of Vladimir. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. May his soul be at peace with our Heavenly Father.

I hope that in due time your family receives God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. Rest assured that he cares for all his creatures and he would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture I like is Psalm 34:18 which reads: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Thus, while you await the Paradise where no one will be sick and die, may you lean on Jehovah God to cope with your separation from beloved Vladimir. (Psalm 37:29)
