To walk with God

is perfect peace

….a joy forever

Death and coping with loss bring challenges to

overcome as well as opportunities

for healing.

We miss the physical presence of those who

gave us life, who shared our lives,

whom we loved and who loved us in

return.

And yet, faith gives us the

strength to persevere in the sure

and certain hope that we are ever

united with them in the embrace of a

loving God.

All of us, the living and the

dead, are part of the Communion of

Saints that the Church

celebrates in a special way

I am the resurrection and the life;

whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives

and believes in me will never die.

Eternal Rest Grant unto them, O Lord. And let

perpetual light shine upon them.
