Perhaps they are not the starts, but rather openings in heaven.
Where the love of lost loved ones pours through and shines down, to let us know they are with us.

Loved ones live on in words they said, in lives they touched, and in the happiness, we feel every time we remember them.

My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. May you all have the strength and courage to get through this emotional and stressful time. One comforting thought is at least he is no longer suffering, and that he will live on forever in everyone's memories. Take care of yourselves and each other.
