I'm very sad to hear this news, Doc. Stunned, actually. I offer you my condolences and my prayes that God will comfort you and your family as you comes to terms with your loss.
As a parent that has lost a child I can say that while the shock passes and the pain diminishes the love and fondness does not. I believe the love grows over time.
I honestly pray the God carry you through the rough times, and gives you peace knowing that He has a plan and that she is with Him.
