Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. If I may share a comforting passage I hope it can help your during your grieving. Revelation 21:3,4 soon death, tears and pain will be gone forever. This is a sure hope. I pray for you to find peace at this time.
Even though I did not know Mr Vierra, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family. Acts 24 : 15, Psalms 37 : 29, Isaiah 25 verse 8 gives us more comfort for today and hope for the future. Just think how much God wants us to live forever and how much he loves us and how we will see our loved one's again.
