Heavenly Father, you have shared with us the life of Michele
Before she was ours, she was yours.
For all that Michele has given us to make us what we are,
For that of her which lives and grows in each of us,
and for her life that in your love will never end,
we give you thanks.
In placing the ashes of Michele at this place,
we think again of all that Michele meant and means to us.
We dedicate this simple plot,
amid these natural surroundings,
to every beautiful and precious memory.
To you Lord we now commit the ashes of our precious Michele.
We now offer Michele back into your arms,
comfort us in our loneliness,
strengthen us in our weakness,
and give us courage to face the future unafraid.
Draw those of us who remain in this life closer to one another,
make us faithful to serve one another,
and may we know that peace and joy which is eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Love you always my precious angel.
Mark
