Our hearts are heavy as we share in your loss. Know that he is already missed and will never be forgotten, the "docks" will not be the same. Trust in the Lord with all with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding. Allow God to be your comforter in the days to come, for He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Trust God, Lean on God, Give Him your every care.
