God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for George’s family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.”

My deepest sympathies to the family of a long time kindergarten & St. Anne School friend.

Dear Karen, Megan and Jimmy-
We will all miss George. We share comfort in knowing George is no longer suffering. George brought so many gifts in to our life, we will never forget him!

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

God bless!
