Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for the passing of your dear Erwood.  Our wonderful and loving Creator Jehovah actually feels your pain, too.  He is such a merciful God who offers comfort during all times (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) and has given us hope in the form of the resurrection (John 5:28,29). So while we greive now for those lost to us in death, the best is yet to come!
