For my Aunt Virginia who lived most of her life in Stephenson, Michigan. She has been a widow since the mid 1970’s when her husband Francis, my Dad’s brother, died from cancer. May God bring her quickly into His presence. May God work in the lives of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as her nieces and nephews. I will not be able to attend due to the bad weather.

Regards,
 
For a very dear priest friend and classmate of mine who died in an automobile accident, Fr Phillip Kim,. Also for a cousin of mine, Stella who recently died. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen.

Oh Yessi - my heart is completely breaking for you!! I’m soooooo sorry - I can hardly type through my tears.😦

No silly words of appeasement will help I know - but please be assured that you will be in my prayers, and I will ask your little ones to pray for your broken hearts.

I was looking for a post I put in here, and camr across this one…

My mother lost 4 babies in all- 3 between my sister and me, who are 4 years apart, meaning she was expecting 3 years in a row with each a loss…

She herself is in Heaven, going on Aug. 15th of last year.

I want to tell you I cannot imagine your pain. Mom couldn’t hardly talk about hers even many years later!

Be assured though that they are praying for you up there! Ask for their help, and when and if you can name them.

I pray to my siblings from time to time, even if they don’t have names, and I do not know how many of each gender they are. This gives me comfort when I need it!

God Bess you all!

You know, I never thought about that before. My MIL just passed away las month, and she had 3 or 4 miscarriages. Now, she has gotten to meet the children that she never had met before! That’s really a comforting thought to me.
 
I dedicate this post to my wonderful parents, my father passed away 6 years ago this year and my mother passed away 6 months ago.

‘There are times I feel alone,
There are times I feel down,
But then I remember my angels are around.
They wrap their arms around me and tell me I am loved,
They remind me I am watched and protected from above.
My angels are not strangers, for they are known to me,
They are my mum and dad walking side by side with me’

Rest well my beloved parents, I miss you so much:(
 
Just a gentle reminder to the families of women who have miscarried or aborted children. Women grieve for these nameless little souls long after the rest of the family has gotten over it. Please pray for these women who mourn the loss of their children.
 
Loving God,

I come before you today to ask for your mercy and love for dear departed friends and relatives. You make all things possible, you are the only one we need, you are the Most High Exalted King and we love and honor you each day. Please receive our dear friends into the place Jesus has prepared for them and give them your peace and eternal rest. I pray especially for my friend Dean, my father in law Robert, my grand parents, for all our relatives and friends who have gone before us. Please also lift up the little ones who never had the chance to be part of the world through abortion or miscarriage grant them a place in heaven with you and your beloved son Jesus.

Amen.
 
I would like to pray for my mother Dora Hitt who died in heart surgery in March 1981, for my sons father Harvey Munshaw who died in October 1989 and for my father Eugene Hitt who died in the hospital February 1990 and for my brother Robert William Hitt who died of cancer in 2002
 
Grandpa Joseph Krall Nov 10 1924 - Dec 17 1997
I remember making cookies with Grandpa, there were always big personal cookies that we put everyone’s names on. My favorite cookies to make were the toffee apple cookies, I still remember how they smell. 🙂

Mr. George T. Polk 1920 - March 19 2005
Mr. Polk was a wonderful family friend and a great teacher to all of us. I didn’t get to know him very well and I regret not asking more questions when he was here, but I know that he is praying for me and watching out for me.

Aunt Marietta Benedetto Dec 16 1933 - Aug 11 2007
My adopted Aunt, I love thinking over the stories you used to tell us after class. I feel like you were just starting to help me grow when God took you away, but I know you were His faithful servant and that you suffered a lot for Him, I hope you are in heaven now. Maybe all I needed from you was a start, Aunt Marguerite is helping me now along with Mom and Uncle Paul. I hope you will be as proud of me in the future as you have been in the past.

I still think of you often and I hope you are all with God. Please pray for me.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord,…
 
For the dead in the Australian wildfires, so far 108 known deaths. Father have mercy on their souls and upon their families.
 
Dear Lord.
Today It is two Years since My Husband went Home to You.
Grant Him Eternal rest and Let Your Perpetual Light shine upon him.
thank You for the good years I had with Him.
 
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
 
Dearest Father Octavio Benhame
April 27 1922 - February 8 2009
You’re now with our other beloved, and we’ll all miss you a lot here on Earth. Rest in peace, the eternal dream will unite us once again one day! Sweet dreams !!
 
For our dear friend HELEN SHERIDAN who passed onto the Lord January 22 2009 may her soul rest in peace with God the Father.
 
My dear Father in Heaven,

My grandmother, Florencia Noblefranca, went home to you on January 19, 2003. She was a very loving person and I miss her so much. Please protect her from all harm and allow us to see each other again one day. Please also let her know that we all miss and love her very much. Thank you Lord Jesus for all your LOVE.

-Manny
 
Please remember my mother and grandmother, Nanny in prayer. I still remember and think of my mom every day. I pray that she is with God and in no more pain and is happy. I miss the weekly visits to Nanny’s house where she always had a smile for me. Love always to you Mom-your daughter Deb, and Nanny - your loving granddaughter.
 
My mother Francesca Maria Auteri (Jan. 1921-Feb. 2009) has recently passed away while I was on holiday. She loved her family and her grandchildren. She loved Jesus and especially the mother Mary and her patron saint St Francis Xavior. I know everything is better now that you are home, mamma Ti Amo.

Holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

My all-time favorite author Neil Gaiman’s father passed away very suddenly of a heart attack. I’m keep Neil and his family in my prayers and praying for the repose of his father’s soul; if you have a moment, I’d like to ask you all to join me in this…

“Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on him. May he rest in peace, Amen.”

“Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.”
 
For little R.N., who was not quite two when she passed on last week. :signofcross:
