I am sorry to read of the untimely loss of your son, Dennis. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. As parents we raise our children to live, not to die. When a child dies, the work of raising him is incomplete, and the parents' hopes for him are dashed. The warm love and affection that flow from the parents to the child are cut off, blocked by the stone wall of death. The place that their son or daughter once occupied in their hearts is now empty. The parents feel a deep sorrow that is not easily dispelled. Lovingly our Heavenly Father avails himself to you especially now. He does so because he indeed "cares for you." (1Peter 5:7) I sincerely encourage you to turn to him in prayer and he will sustain you indeed.
