re: Prayers needed….any words of encouragement or advice.

Praying for you man. I cannot imagine. Please get involved with a local church; especially where they off grief counseling. When a loved passes that suddenly, it is even more traumatic than you realize. Same goes for those Littles ones too. Work out that grief. DO NOT bottle it up. Blocked emotions eventually cause disease. You need a group praying for you and helping you work out the grief. Will continue to pray for your family. Those little ones will ESPECIALLY look up to now that their Momma is gone.
