God of all mystery, whose ways are beyond understanding,
lead us, who grieve at this untimely death,
to a new and deeper faith in your love,
which brought your only Son Jesus
through death into resurrection of life.
We make our prayer in Jesus' name.
Amen


Lord our God,
you give and you take away.
You blessed us through the gift of - - - - - - ,
who is now taken from us
and whose loss we mourn.
Help us, through our tears and pain,
to glimpse your hand at work
to bring blessing out of grief.
To you be glory for ever. 
Amen.
