I didn’t have the opportunity to know Mr. Tighe. But I’m so sorry for your pain as you have lost someone far too early. I hope you are being comforted by the gift of prayer. It certainly is comforting to know that Jesus demonstrated his power over death and he told how he wants to reunite all families separated by death. I wanted to share some verses from the Bible that have brought me much comfort through the death of many loved ones. I hope you can make time to read them. I am so sorry.
