Dear Family of Mr. Long,
I know you are grieving the loss of your loved one right now, but may the times shared in the past bring to mind sweet memories that warm your hearts and may those memories give you comfort and pleasure in the days to come. "Lord, I pray for this family who have lost a loved one on earth, may they experience your presence as they adapt to living life without this member their family. May they be encouraged by knowing this is only a temporary separation. And may You be glorified as they "celebrate" Mr. Long's life. Amen"
