a moment's silence...

...to remember my uncle Richard..who passed away just yesterday after a courageous fight with cancer. he is now resting peacefully with God, free from all the pain and suffering of this world.

God, watch over my aunt and my two cousins, who have just lost a husband and a father. may You comfort them the way only You can. keep uncle Richard in their hearts even as they go through this time of mourning. help them be brave and give them strength, knowing that uncle Richard is far better place now. God, comfort also the families and friends who had the fortune to know uncle Richard when he was alive. may all who knew him remember his laughter, niceness and his courage even in his final days.

Amen.
