Yet God is good all the time and the hardest hit families seem most convinced of that truth.

Such as these are pure angels and their mute silence speaks loudly how we should be sensitive to each other, to the elderly and the sick, the disabled and the helpless. It's comforting to know that his body is now perfect and that he is with family and God!

That's all you have to hold on to." So glad your family knows those truths. Praying for them and you.
