    God’s Word offers the hope of eternal life through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.” (John 16:22)

    “For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,…” (1 Corinthians 15:22).

    “Peace I leave with you my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” John 14:27

    O Loving Father and Savior, send your angels to carry the soul of your servant, Leona Weinmann, from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with the departed. Forgive any wrongs that have been committed and welcome this beloved spirit into the warm embrace of your unending peace. Amen.
