May we lift Lori Knuth, the Hefts, and the rest of their family in prayer for the passing of Lori today.
She had a sudden and unexpected turn and decline in the last day. She was surrounded by her son Dean and his family as well as Megan. Kirstin and Tadd were out of town for a short respite to recover from difficulty of the last weeks and prepare for her final days. They were not able to make it back in time to be with her. But, Megan was holding her hand and Kirstin was on the phone as she took her last breath. Kirstin and Tadd have made their way home today.
Information to come on plans to honor Lori's life.
A prayer for us to join together in lifting Lori and all those grieving her loss:
Loving God, you comfort us in this moment of
need. You embrace us all in your loving arms.
In the shadow of death your light shines on us.
May Lori find rest in your light and peace,
where there is no more sorrow or pain, but life everlasting.
We thank you, our Creator, for the blessing of Lori's life,
may memories of her bring moments of joy in the midst of grief
and the impact she had on those she met remain with her loved ones always.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
