"May we, our Father in heaven, think little of the future life save as we trust all to you, but may we leave behind us countless lessons of hope and song as we commend others to your purpose and plan. When you call us to face death, may a song of victory spring from our hearts which may cheer and inspire our loved ones left behind. For Jesus' sake. Amen."

In Jesus' name. Amen."
