For the Family of our Beloved Soror, Cheryl A. Hickmon...May she Rest In Peace in the bosom of the Lord...

God of life, although death was not part of Your plan for us, through the sin of our first parents, death entered our world. With death came grief and the deep sadness of separation. Yet, in the resurrection of Your Son, death has been overcome. So we ask You to lighten the grief of those who mourn. May they look forward to the day when You will wipe away every tear. In Jesus´ name we pray. Amen.
