There are no words to comfort anyone in situations like this except that which comes from God's word. Hold on to Him. 

Isaiah 51:12
I, I am he who comforts you...

Psalms 119:50
50 This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.
52 When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O Lord.

We have you in prayer
John Varghese (Jiju), Sara, Keane and Ezekiel

You are all in our thoughts and prayers! "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior...fear not, for I am with you." (Isaiah 43:2-5)We are victorious through Him! (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Dear Lijoy, Luke, Eric & Alex:

Words can't express how we feel... We share the pain with you. We were so touched by Jemi's testimony; the way she loved her Lord and her family.  We continue to uplift all of you to the love and care of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  May the Lord console you and give you the strength to go through the days that can be difficult.  

With lots of love, 
Vinu, Sillu, Nathan and Matthew

God captured Jemi's heart through our Lord Jesus Christ and Jemi captured Lijoy's and everyone else's hearts. A beautiful legacy left behind!!!

Dear Lijoy & family
We are praying for you and the children that Our Lord will give you all peace & comfort during these days. Sony & Elizabeth, Mysore

Dear Lijoychachen,
I am part of your extended family from your mom's side,I don't think we have met and you may not know me but I wanted to tell you that the funeral service for Jemi was the one of the most blessed ones I have ever had the fortune to see(over the livestream, way across in Muscat).. And even though I never knew Jemi, I too join the hundreds praising God for her life. What a wonderful testimony she bore, how loved she was! We wept with you too at your loss.
It's an inspiration for us to live like her, to touch others' lives in a unique way. I am amazed she touched me even at the time she was no longer here on earth. 
May the Lord continue to bless you with His peace, and may your lives(I include the boys,Luke,Eric and Alex) glorify the name of the Lord always.
In a little corner of the world, this cousin of yours will also be praying for your family.

We are so sorry for the loss of Jemi. She was a wonderful and loving friend. She will be missed so much. So very sorry.

Lijoy and boys,
May the Lord alone give you the comfort and peace during this trying time. 
Dinakaran, Beulah and Samuel

Our prayers are with your family. Jemi is now watching over you from the Lord's side ....

Jemi
Our memories of you is the young college girl who was/is vibrant and full of life and your beautiful contagious smile!
We pray as you rest in our Heavenly Fathers arms, that He would bring peace that "passeth human understanding" and comfort to your bereaving family, especially your husband and handsome boys!!

Beloved Lijoy,
May the God of peace who brought back our Lord Jesus Christ that Great shepherd of the sheep, comfort you and the children at this time of your great loss, fill your hearts with His peace that passes understanding and under gird your hearts in grace.  You are in our constant prayers.  Jaya will be attending the funeral. Polson and family, Bangalore.

 Lijoy, Luke ,Eric and Alex we are deeply saddened by your loss and stand by you during this difficult time. We pray for your wonderful family. Jerry, Misty and Jerry III Ferrell

Dear Lijoy, Luke, Eric & Alex:
An exceedingly joyful wife, mother of three, daughter, sister and sister in Christ has been brought home. A home we all yearn for in the Spirit; a Spirit (the Comforter) given as a guarantee that was abundantly visible through Jemi's love towards all regardless of age, physical appearance, demographic and financial stature. Her Christ-likeness is remembered and no doubt will continue to have its effect on all those God led her to touch.
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on[a] we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdenednot that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 2 Cor 5:1-5

Dear Lijoy,we are deeply saddened by the news of Jemi's passing. Our deepest condolences to you and the boys. You and the family had been in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Babu uncle and Kunjumol auntie.

Dear Lijoy, Luke, Eric and Alex...may memories of Jemi and the love of family surround you and give you strength in the days ahead.

Jemi was one of the first people I met when I moved to NC. She immediately made me feel welcomed and loved. Her joy was always so inspiring, and her love for the Lord and her family was evident in every conversation we had. While we are grieving the loss of Jemi, we can't wait to be reunited with our sweet sister once again in Heaven. We are praying for your family.

Dear Lijoy, Luke, Erin and little Alex. We are so so sorry for your loss. My son Raheel played with Alex and knew Jemi very well.She came over to our house one day before she passed away . My son cried so much when he heard the news and kept saying to me ,mom she was so nice and kind. The other day I met a handy man who worked at Jemi's house. He had tears in his eyes.  She will be greatly missed and we pray for strength to the family to bear this loss. We are here to help any time.

Feeling very sorry, at such unexpected departure of this dear sister. May the Lord comfort the family and other dear ones. Our Lord doesn't make a mistake. Prayerfully.

God had a reason for calling her to Him--her work on earth is done and she will be looking down on all of you from above. Her spirit will continue to live on in her three boys.

" For thou will light my candle; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness." Ps. 18:28 . Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of indescribable sorrow.
                                   Jacob and Mercy Samuel ( Kansas City , MO )

May the "LORD" give you peace, although we are far away our hearts are with you.

We are shocked and heartbroken to hear of your sudden loss. Jemi is a testimony to the light of Christ and the joy of life. We will certainly pray for Lijoy and her handsome boys as you carry on without her. Our sincere condolences to Jemi's sisters and grieving mother. Our Almighty Father will surely keep you in His everlasting arms.

Our hearts go out to you all at this time of indescribable sorrow.  Let us all find consolation in the Scripture which comforts us thus:  Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.  According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.  For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.  Therefore encourage one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

What?! Wow! What a shock! She was our perfect hostess to us during the outreach in Apex. Wow!
Upholding you all in prayer! Our hearts go out to you all!
