I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Spencer family on your loss. Death is never easy and it pains our hearts. Our loving God Jehovah is aware of this and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Psalm 34:18 says: Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; May you be comforted by his words during your time of bereavement.
