Dear Lord, It has long been the theological view that in birth you partook of the human experience, and from a tree on Calvary you brought salvation to humanity. However, I think the moment when you were most human, most one of the living and un-eternal was the moment when you were overcome by grief at the loss of your friend Lazarus. In those moments of pain you were fully human, for there is nothing more humnan than the acute sting of loss that comes from laying a loved one to rest. Tonight I am in pain as you were. Tonight our grief is one. Tonight I call upon you and your love, that through your intercession, my tears be wiped away. In heaven with you now are some very special people whom have taken the final journey of the living before me. I beseech you now to bring along with the everlasting, my love to each of them by name: Rex Campone, Gladys Desharnais; Katherine Kady; Anna Tridenti; Mary Filli; Milly Ferraro, Rev. Charles Squelia, Helen Caron, Mary Rotonnelli, Dominic Rotonnelli, Maria Francesca Bevelacqua Rotonnelli... And finally dear Lord, Lucille Imelda Roberge Landry. For on this night many years ago you saw fit to end all pain and illness by calling her name and inviting her to your home to be with her Mother, Father, sisters, brothers and husband who pre-deceased her. It broke my heart and the chain of our family to let her go but the eternal peace was truly hers. I call their names now, and their memories with them out of the graves as you did your friend Lazarus, so that each may know that they are still loved, they are still remembered, they are still missed, and they will never be forgotten. So may they now be given back to you and your love with the renewed sense of love and family. And in Heaven again may we meet when my name is added to this list of fallen. Love always, Your servant on the earth
