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 my 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.

Amen.

R.I.P. my friend,

Nicole and Melanie,
Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for your lost. Your Dad was truly one of my dearest friends and a huge part of my life. Although life put distance between us, he was always in my thoughts. I'll always cherish the memories that He and I made. He gave to me one of the greatest gifts a man can give to another , my Godchild Nicole. For that I will be eternally grateful. Love you both , Uncle Luke
