Eternal Spirit of the
Universe
Be with us as we remember.
There are friends, family
members, classmates, teachers, companions,
Who walked with us
Who helped us
Who provided us with wisdom
Who enabled us to put new
life lessons into perspective.
We learned with them
We laughed with them
We may have even cried with
them
And we relied on them as they
renewed our confidence
Refreshed our strength
And restored our hope.
And now they leave a legacy
to us
That will remain and become a
part of who we are and who we will be.
May their souls be bound up
in the bond of all life.
May we continue to feel their
presence among us
Like a light that continues
to shine ever more brightly with each passing day and week and month and year.
And remind us, source of solace,
to give comfort to each other, whether with a calmly spoken word or in silent
support
So that pain and grief will
grow into a deep sense of gratitude for the gifts we have received from those
no longer with us whom we knew and loved.
May they all rest in peace
and may they find a holy and cherished
place in our minds and hearts. Amen.
