From:  Jimmy McConico, 1st Cousin

  Another soldier called home from the battlefield of life
From the commander in chief Himself
Now hearts will break and hearts will mend
And memories will be added to conversations and shelves.

We will speak of the good times
And the funny moments we shared
Of how Greg loved his friends and family
Of how much Greg really cared.

So we will not say goodbye
We will salute Greg instead
For we loved him just as much
And he will forever be in our hearts and head.

Rest in peace. Rest in love.
Jimmy

Prayer

Our father, our strength and comfort, thank you for
allowing me rise and pray for all who stand in the need of prayer.
On this day, Lord I ask that you be with those who have lost a love
one. For grief may weigh heavy on their hearts but yours is a
power that comforts. Be their strength, for they may grieve for
awhile but not always. Be their comfort, for no one knows the
master plan but you, our master. And we shall be comforted
knowing that all souls belong to you. Be their strength again, as
there is now life without the one who was with them physically,
but is now with them spiritually. May those that pass from this life
gain eternal life in our hearts for love is a gift from you that never
dies.

 

Amen
