"A friend departs after a short stay. A relative comes over for a vacation and leaves. Children now settled in different parts of the world come and go away but when they leave for their permanent abode, in the heavens, the grief of departure is unmeasured.
 
"Our prayers and our presence in condolence is all we offer, but their - the ones that suffer personally - true pain is never relieved."
