My best friend passed away Friday night after a long illness. Patty, may you rest in peace in the arms of God for all eternity. You were a wonderful gift and blessing to me. I will miss you always until we meet again in paradise.
O God our Father,
Creator of all the living, we entrust to Your gentle care all those we love who have gone before us; and have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
RIP: Fr. Raphael Iannone, OFM Cap.
