We pray for all who have died, that they may have a place in your eternal kingdom.

For Laura and Fred, Carrie and Leon, Rita and Jim, Robert and Hazel, for Joe, Monte, and Bob, for Anna, Mary, and Laura.

For the victims of war, disease, drought, hunger, and plague.

We pray for the blessed dead in thanks for their lives and our memory of their lives. We remember those who have died tragically, seeking to better understand how we might heal and prevent such tragedies.

We pray for the dead so that we might not take for granted the opportunities of this life.

We pray that all might find and accept the place in your heavenly reign that each of us has already been granted.
