  Death is something that comes to all of us, it is extra hard, we find we are never ready. I find that if we put our faith in the Bible, it helps greatly with our grief. Jehovah said he is near to those who are broken hearted, & those crushed in spirit. (Ps. 34:18) Jesus said I am the resurrection & the life. (John 11:25) What a great gift we have been givin, throu the ramason sacarfice of God be-gotten son Jesus christ. (John 3:16) It is throu this gift, that we will be able to see our loved ones again. I know he is greatly missed, by his granddaughter Vanessa. We were talking about him the other day. I know she loved him very much. Lossing a mate is hard, but you will keep his memory always.
