Dear Sharon,

I am praying with you for these dear ones.  Remember, God just wants you to 
be there with them.  I remember one time, when my brother was killed 
tragically some years back, a dear Christian brother visited and just sat 
and wept with us.  That meant so much to me.  God may not give you physical 
tears, but he will enable you to share with them in some way in their grief, 
and this will bless and encourage them.
