Heavenly Father, welcome home those whom you have called before us and grant peace and consolation to their families. Like a ship that has left its mooring and sailed bravely out to sea, so, our loved one has sailed away in calm serenity. But there is a promise of a greater joy than earth can have in store, For God has planned a richer life beyond the Unseen Shore.
