Thank you, once again Madam Frances Kollin
Loayan. May God our source, our means and
our end, keep you in eternal peace. May all

and in all churches, schools, communities you have
moved and taught, and with all the company of heaven
will forever sing with you in perfect harmony, and let
your spirit so shine among us now and forever. Amen.

“If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in the world of the dead, you
are there.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light around me become night’.
even the darkness is not dark to you,
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to you.”
Psalm 139:8,11-12

Let us pray for all the departed during
the recent months
O God, whose mercies cannot be
numbered,
accept our prayers on behalf of the
souls
of thy servants/handmaids departed,
and grant them an entrance
into the land of light and joy,
in the fellowship of thy saints,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
