Dear Lord,

Thank you for the time we were able to spend with Gloria. She was truly a blessing. We remember and cherish the person she was and the experiences we shared with her.

We ask you to watch over her family and friends and keep them close to you. Give them strength in their time of need. Let them grieve and grant them peace from their suffering.

As a school community, we ask you to bring us closer together in this time of sorrow. Unite us and keep her memory alive in the class of 2015.

Although she left us too soon, we know she’s in a better place with you. We continue to say, “Gloria” as we praise you for the blessing she was.

Amen.
