Dear Lord heavenly Father please be with us as we come together to remember our beloved husband/father.
Thank you for his wonderful life and all that he meant to us.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the paths God made for me
I took his hand I heard him call
Then turned, and bid farewell to all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found my peace... at close of day
And if my parting left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened... deep with sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full I've savoured much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now... He set me free
Dear God, we commend to you the spirit of Neville/Dad and commit his earthly remains to their final resting place. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
May you bless him and keep him and may he rest in peace forevermore. Amen.
