Dear Lord, please open
your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this
beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge
Assign her to a place of
honor,
for she has been a
faithful servant
and has always done her
best to please me.
Bless the hands that
send her to you,
for they are doing so in
love and compassion,
freeing her from pain
and suffering.
Grant me the strength
not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the
details of her life
with the love she has
shown me.
And grant me the courage
to honor her
by sharing those
memories with others.
Let her remember me as
well
and let her know that I
will always love her.
And when it's my time to
pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to
accompany those
who will bring me home.
Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her
companionship
and for the time we've
had together.
And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the
strength
to give her to you now.
Amen.
