You don't know me, but as a neighbor and someone that has experienced loss in my life; I wanted to extend my condolences at this time of your loss. I know that this is a hard time to go through. At times like this I find comfort in turning to the Bible. At John 5:28,29 we are promised that our loved ones will be resurrected and we can be joined in love once more. Remember death is like a dreamless sleep awaiting the resurrection (Acts 7:60). My warmest regards go out to you.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. I know sometimes, the heart looks for comfort but can't find any. I hope this scripture found in 2nd Corinthians 1:3-4 which reads: "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God", brings you a measure of comfort.
