Eternal God, Let Your grace and mercy rest upon us as we, with grateful affection, remember our Comrade who has departed this life. We thank You for thier days upon earth and the joy that they brought. May our remembrance of our Comrade live long among us and be to us a source of guidance and strength. Give to those who miss them deeply, wells of consolation from which to draw comfort, and enable us to be Your ministers of grace and mercy to them in their time of need. Amen.
