Depart, O Christian soul, out of this world;
In the Name of God the Father Almighty who created you;
In the Name of Jesus Christ who redeemed you;
In the Name of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies you.
May your rest be this day in peace,
and your dwelling place in the Paradise of God.

Mom we will miss you. Selfishly we wanted you to stay with us forever. Unselfishly we did not want you to suffer. We know in our hearts you are now with Daddy. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for all you taught us. We so love you. Your memory will always stay with us.

We make our prayer in the Name of Jesus, Who is our risen Lord now and forever. Amen.
