Losing a loved one

I love getting together with people, whether to celebrate new life, life passed away, weddings, birthday, anniversary celebration, etc. ​ Recently, I lost a friend. She was a little old lady at the church. Claire was as sweet and faithful servant-minded woman. I'm soon going to her funeral visitation and going to speak with the family to reflect, pray & bless them hopefully. Claire reminded me quite a bit of my own grandmother who passed away almost exactly one year earlier. So, I'm very sad to lose her from this life, but happy she is now at peace and perfect bliss. 

Here is a couple great links to reflect on: 
How do I find comfort and peace when I have lost a loved one to death? 
What Should Be the Focus of a Christian Funeral?
