For those who missed Mom’s graveside service last Sunday, this is a transcript:

Mom,

We want you to know that we are all fine, though we do miss you.

We also know that you are in a perfect place now, which helps us to deal with the pain of your absence.

You are with God now, and we pray that we will all meet with you there when our time has come.

I bet that there are all sorts of little dogs and other furry animals that keep you company now, and that you are seeing your dear old friends and family that have also passed from this earth.

Here is a prayer for those of us who remain here on earth:

May we all have the faith that took you to the better world,

May we all do the right things while we are on this earth,

So that we can be reunited with you when it is our time.

As your remains are lowered to rest beside your long-departed husband,

May we take comfort in knowing that you are finally with him again.

God grant us the strength to journey through this life with joy, as we know you took so much joy in living during your time here.

May we all learn from your example.

Amen

-Dixon
