After a long journey, Mary Lou Brennan passed this morning. This week she had been surrounded by her children who got to share love and goodbyes.
May we lift all of the family as they process this loss and face so much grief. I particularly lift Marla, who cared for her mom for many years and will feel her loss strongly. I also lift Phyllis Thomas, her sister, who is now the only of those siblings left, and will miss her greatly.
A prayer for us to join together in lifting Mary Lou 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 Mary Lou 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 Mary Lou'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.
