Lori Lee -
Our thoughts are prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your father. May God give you strength, serenity, and guidance to make it through this tough time. Remember to pray:

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 the Lee 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 them together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.
