Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with the Surrena family. We've all had to endure the sorrow of losing a loved one in death. What helped me the most was prayer and faith in God's promises like found here at John 6: 40 and it tells us: "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day."
