My eternal Lord Jesus, Almighty God,thank You for the soul of Frances McElroy and Your Light that shone through her soul during her earthly sojourn to her community. I ask You to cause the souls of her family members to feel Your presence as they gather together to celebrate Frances' life journey this week. Open their souls to Your Love and salvation as they continue their earthly sojourns without the presence of Frances. I pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
