My heartfelt condolences to Melodie's family. Words can not express the pain and sadness of being separated from our loved ones in death, especially when they are still so young. The Bible promises that there is One who sees our pain and heartache and promises that he is "close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalms 34:18) Take comfort in knowing that in the very near future, we will see the promise found in Revelation 21:4 fulfilled where it reads "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." Until that time, may the memories of Melodie help sustain your grief. May the "God of All Comfort" be with you now and in the difficult days ahead. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
