Loving God,

My friend and coworker Mary D passed away last evening. Lord, we lift up our intentions for dear Mary and ask for your mercy and blessings for her in accordance with your Holy and perfect will. We pray for the happy repose of Mary’s soul and hope that dear Jesus has brought her to that special place in your house which has been prepared just for her. Lord, please comfort and strengthen her family members, husband and daughters, and help them to find comfort and to carry this suffering to a positive end as they pray in joyful hope for Mary at this time. Please help the family to find and remember all the good in their lives from the love that Mary shared with each of them, and to build on that in their love for others and each other.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd of your people.

Amen.
 
**We Offer our humble Prayers for All Our Departed Ancestors, My beloved Father, uncles, friends, relatives, and known ones. We also remember all the souls in the purgatory, who are not remembered by any one and not prayed for.
**
O, Merciful Lord, Loving Divine Master, you have resurrected from the dead. Please grant eternal resurrection for all those who believed in you and died. Amen.
 
Hi, Jhash,

May the Good Shepherd soften the pain of your loss while welcoming Mary D into His Fold for all eternity.

May the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the Mercy of Christ, rest in peace. Amen.

My prayers for your departed family members and for you who suffer their loss–my prayers always. Please remember my family members in your prayers also. Reading the posts listed here remind me that we all suffer loss, but love our lost ones, as I believe they continue to love us. God bless you all!
 
My father, Alfred John Giddings, passed away last month, March12, from pneumonia caused by difficulty swallowing, which was caused by Alzheimer’s disease. He was 81 yrs old. My parents would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this September. Mom misses him a lot.
I miss him, too. He had a great smile- Irish eyes. They say we looked alike as youngsters.

I wish I had known him better. Recently many of his friends, and even a professor from his college have written or called with stories about him that reveal a wonderfully intelligent man, who must have been a delight to know. Why didn’t I know him that way? He wrote poetry but never shared it with me. He let Mom be our contact person. I let Mom be our contact person.

Oddly, in the last two years, when he needed a lot of help, but had mostly forgotten who I was, he was able to be closer to me. We freely said I love you and held hands, and played catch, and he listened to my stories about my kids. We prayed together, and sang songs. We told jokes. I spent a lot of time with him just being there. Mom went to see him at the assisted living practically every day, and I went three or four times a week. I am so glad we had that time with him. He was a great man.

May the Blessed Mother lead him to happiness. May the good Lord Jesus Christ bless his soul, and have mercy on him.

Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

Let us pray: We commend this father Alfred John,to You Lord.

In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins he

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

In Memory of My Brother William - KIA Vietnam-September 21, 1967

My Tribute to Bill which I wrote on the occasion of my first visit to the Vietnam Wall

**The Empty Tomb **

As I approach the wall in the early morning light, the sky is gently showering everything with dew. Here at the break of days new dawning, I come much like Mary to visit the empty tomb. I come not with spices, but with my heart wanting to speak to you once again. Today I come to meet with my brother, my best friend.

I know deep within me that we are still kindred in spirit, together and yet apart. We have shared the days of our childhood and we have felt the sting of death. Yet, for all of this, nothing can really ever separate us…not even a broken heart.

William…my sweet William, how I long to see you once again. Can you hear me? Do you see me as I search for your beloved name? Many years have passed since I last spoke with you and beheld your dear sweet face. Then, again, it seems like only yesterday that I stood beside your open grave. Brother, teacher, companion and friend…how the memories do ebb and flow. Can you see me? Do you hear me as I search for your beloved name?

Suddenly as though from a lighthouse…a tiny ray of sun seems to point out your beloved name. Billy…dearest brother, I know that you still watch over me. Can you feel the mist that is falling? Can you see how the dew drops look just like teardrops, as I caress your beloved name? I counted 16 teardrops falling…one for each letter and character in your name.

Do you remember bat-light, butterflies and fishing in the rain? Do you remember how you taught me to fish and then threw them all back into the lake once again? You said, “We should never waste God’s beauty or abuse the bounty of His land.” Do you fish the lakes of heaven, still teaching the little ones? Do you walk the fields with Jesus and…OH! Do you still sing slightly out of tune?

Here in the misty morning sunlight, I feel close to you once again. I can almost hear you singing…”Halleluiah! To Christ our King!” Best of all sweet William, it sounds perfectly in tune. William, my sweet William, it is time for me to go.

Billy dearest brother, I shall always love you so. I know now deep in my heart, that you are safe and well. Now not even 16 teardrops falling, can take away my joy for you. “ Vaya Con Dios,” until we meet again.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute. May the Lord bless your heart with the knowledge of His love, and the loving embrace of your brother William. And may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
 
Please remember my aunt’s mother in your prayers. Her name was Mrs. E. (I don’t know her first name :)). She died on Tuesday.

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, especially Mrs. E. and all those remembered here,
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. :crossrc:

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen. :crossrc:
 
I want to share a poem with you… these are the words I have been trying to write since my sister passed away…and it came to me at my work email… out of no where, I dont know who sent it or who wrote it…maybe an angel is trying to tell me something…maybe she is… I dont know but it is beautiful…
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
by anonymous

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name and
took me by the hand.

And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,

And that I’d have to leave behind, all those
things I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,

For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

I’d say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe
see you smile.

But then I fully realized, that could never be,

For emptiness and memories, would take
the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things, I might
miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was
filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,
from his great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity, and all I’ve
promised you.

Today your life on Earth is past, and
here it starts anew".

"I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

And since each day’s the same day, there’s
no longing for the past".

"But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,

Though there were times you did some things,
you know you shouldn’t do".

"But you have been forgiven, and now at
last you’re free,

So won’t you take my hand now and share
My life with Me".

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t
think we’re far apart,

For every time you think of me, I’m right here
in your heart.
 
For my wife’s loss of her uncle and aunt, the souls of Virgilio Nioko, Juana Pineza who passed away a few weeks ago, may their souls rest in peace.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins.
Save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls into heaven,
especially those who have most need of thy mercy.

May God Bless you and your family loss. May God grant them eternal peace and bliss in his Loving Arms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
