Loving God,
A candle burns in my heart and warms my soul. It never flickers. It never wanes.
It is the memory of those I love Who are now at home with You
I ask You to keep them close to Your heart. Keep them in the bright flame of Your love. As I prepare for my own journey,
Help me to understand death is but a doorway To new and eternal life. Amen.
