He leaves us all with countless cherished memories and a rich example of the Christian life. Moreover, he would want everyone to be encouraged by the promise of God in 1 Corinthians 1:3-4, “God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
