Dearest Monique, My heart is breaking for you. I have been praying for you and your family. I miss our conversation about The Lord. He is a great and merciful God and He holds us in His loving hands. I am so sorry for your loss of your son, Shell. What a loss for us down here but what a gain for him in a land that knows no tears.
Love,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time for the family. Something that has always given me comfort is a scripture at Revelation 21:4, it says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I sincerely hope this brings you some comfort.
