I am a friend of the Connor family and best friends with Dorothy "Dot" Connor. My heart goes out to the Connor family. Having loss my son, little Robert Jr, two months ago, I know… I know… I know the pain. But I can tell you that Jesus our Lord, will never leave or forsake us. He never has and he never will. We will see our love ones again. For me, during this time of loss, reading the WORD gave me comfort, especially the scriptures: Matthew 5:4 ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.’ and John 14:1 ‘Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me’. Sending love and prayers to the Connor family.
