May the Hearer of prayer give the family the comfort needed during this time of grief (Psalm 65:2). The Almighty is a refuge for us in times of distress. May you find relief in His promises of life again for our lost love ones like Marianne, found in His Word during this time of sadness.

Dear Father Tom,

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Marianne was a great assistant at St. Richard's. For the short time I was there, she was always so genuinely caring and professional with everyone. I regret that I cannot make it this evening to the wake, but want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers.
