I’m sorry to hear about Robin’s death and want to express my sympathy by sharing some of my favorite scriptures from the Bible that help me each time I lose a loved one. John 5:28,29 promises a resurrection when the time is right, Psalms 37:29 says we will reside forever upon the earth and Rev 21:3-4 promises there will be no more pain, sickness or death. So we have all of these things to look forward to in the near future. I hope you experience the same comfort that I do from the Bible.
My heart hurts. I am so sorry. He was a sweet boy and I will remember him as that. You have my condolences.
