O God of grace and glory,
we remember before you today our brother, Keith,
We thank you for giving him to us to know and to love
as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth.
In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn.
Give us faith to see that death has been swallowed up
in the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ,
so that we may live in confidence and hope until,
by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home
in the company of all your saints;
through Jesus Christ,
our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
