Today, on the one year anniversary of Mama's release from earthly concern, I offer this prayer from the 1945 Book of Common Prayer according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. This prayer is also offered in celebration of the lives of her parents, George Robert Clark and Theda Geraldine Fowles Clark. This Book of Common Prayer belong to Mumum. It was used at St Paul's Episcopal Church where Mama and Daddy were married.
Almight God, with whom do live the spirits of those who depart hence in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity; We give thee hearty thanks for the good examples of all thy servants, who, having finished their course in faith, do now rest from their labours. And we beseech thee, that we, with all those who are departed in the true faith of thy hold Name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in thy eternal and everlasting glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
