Sad news to hear Bill Sr passed, but he is now in a better place with Jesus and all those who have gone before us.
Almighty God , with whom live the spirits of those who deoart from here in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithfull after death are in strength and gladness, we give you hearty thanks for the good examples of all your servants who, having finished thier course in faith, do now rest from their labor.
Heavenly Father , keep their families in Your kind care. Bless them and comfrot them in their time of sorrow. Let us be reminded of Life, that we may be ever greatfull to you. In Chrit;s name we pray. AMEN
