Compassionate God,
you have called our friend and colleague from this life.
Welcome them with the grace of your mercy
and lead them to their place of eternal peace and rest.
May we remember their life of service among us
with gratitude and fondness as we look forward to the day
when we will be reunited in your kingdom.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
