Prayer for Rachel's Family

We have a friend named Rachel.  Her sister is dealing with the death of her husband.  He died suddenly.  Beyond the death itself and all that entails, this sister is dealing with several special issues.

First, he didn't have life insurance.  He wasn't even 40 years old, very healthy.  So, extended family and friends will probably be pitching in for some costs.  They will probably have to cremate.  No ideas yet about how they're going to do financially without the father's income.

Second, they have an autistic son who is not able to process "death".  He simply doesn't understand why Daddy's not coming home.  He ended up acting out at church by becoming very violent to those around him.  Another BIL who was quite large intervened and was able to stop him.  But everyone involved was bruised or worse.

Third, the coroner can't release the body to the mortician because he cannot determine the cause of death.  He's been looking at this body for a while and cannot find a single trace of anything abnormal.  No signs of disease, weakened conditions, scar tissues, toxins, drugs... NOTHING.  His entire body says that he was as fit as a fiddle.  He just plain died. 

What little I know of this situation is ignorant at best.  But as I understand it, he's attempting further investigation.  And if a cause is not determined, some special process is required.  So, the family doesn't even know when they can have a funeral.

If anyone can spare some prayers for this family to be able to carry on, that would be appreciated.
