Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. My deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Homer. May you find comfort in knowing that our heavenly Father knows the heartbreak of loss and is here for us as he promised at Isaiah 43:2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, And through the rivers, they will not flood over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame singe you." Although death is the most heartbreaking experience we will ever face we are not left without hope. God promises to bring our loved ones back to life through a resurrection as he promised at, Isaiah 25:8 " He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." How we long for that truly special day to embrace them again!
