I am writing to offer my condolences.  Death isn't anything that God ever planned for us.  I have found this Scripture to be of comfort to me.It's found at Revelation 21:4 "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" Please also visit our website at www.jw.org to learn more about God's promises for us.
