Remembrance

St. James's Sussex Gardens, London

I remember the stories you read to me,
playing in the Moose water park
chasing after each other in Great Grandpa's garden
seeing my first deer in Yosemite
how you held my hands and climbed up the stones at Glacier Point
how fun it was to try my first hand in MJ
our quiet stroll in Stanford
walk on the beach
your hands
your smile
thank you for being part of my life

love always,
Ella

Father in heaven, we give you thanks for your servant Paul.
We praised you as we recollect his life and cherish his memory.
We bless you that in bearing your imagehe has brought light to our lives;
for we have seen
in his friendship reflections of your compassion,
in his integrity demonstrations of your goodness,
in his faithfulness glimpses of your eternal love.
Grant to each of us, beloved and bereft,the grace to follow his good example
so that we with him may come to your everlasting kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who died and rose again and opened the gate of glory,
to whom be praise for all eternity.

Amen
