It’s hard to see tomorrow, when someone you love is gone.
And it’s harder still to realize that your life will still go on.
But the Lord won’t give you burdens, which He knows you cannot bear,
And He will not leave you comfortless...
You’ll always find Him there.
We’re all our Father’s children, here on earth and up above,
And your loved one now walks
Close to God,
Surrounded by His love.

 Lord, you have embraced a good friend and loving companion.
While we mourn what we have lost, we do celebrate what we had...
and in saying goodbye, we renew our pledge to love and care
for any creature you entrust to us for its time of life.
Thank you, Lord, for the joy this loved one gave us and for making it
possible for us to have made this friend's life a good one.
