Praying for the other intentions in this thread.
***Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. ***I live alone. I have no kin less than a full day’s drive away. I’m chronically ill with a disease that is incurable and fatal. Though I am doing all the things I need to do to collect on the “15 to 20 years of medically manageable symptoms”, such as taking all my medicines, doing my physical therapy, using my oxygen, and so on, the fact is that I could easily be Called at any time. And the first notice of my passing, when my body finally stops working entirely, is very likely to be a blaring loudspeaker just like the one in the cafeteria this noontime, at some hospital or skilled nursing facility. I hope that when my time comes, and the loudspeakers start hollering about my room, that there is someone who takes pity on me and prays for me. It’s on that list of the Things Catholics Do, the Works of Mercy: Pray for both the living and the dead. - Karen Marie Knapp
Karen Marie Knapp, who blogged at From the Anchor Hold, has passed away.
Mark Shea has a quote from Karen which I think is apt, and one that I think we should heed:
***Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. ***

I have read the blogs, I didn’t know there was so beautiful a soul so close to home. May God bless Karen Marie and her words will continue to live in the hearts of all she touched.Karen Marie Knapp, who blogged at From the Anchor Hold, has passed away.
