Almighty God, Father of my eternal Lord and King Jesus Christ, I thank You for the soul of Janice and Your Light shone through her soul during her 88 year earthly sojourn to her family and community. I ask You to touch the souls of her family members and friends with Your Salvation and Comfort as they gather together to celebrate Janice’s earthly sojourn through the ministry of Your Son Jesus Christ. I also ask You to anoint the souls of her family members with strength and perseverance as they continue their earthly sojourns without Janice’s presence through the ministry of Your Holy Spirit. I pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
