In Grateful Remembrance
Each life remembered here was given in service to God, to community, and to those on the margins. We remember them with affection and reverence, mindful that their faithfulness is a part of our own story.
We give thanks for their fidelity in small things and great, for the compassion they carried, and for the hope they sustained.
Held now in God’s embrace, may they know the peace they proclaimed.
