Elaine, R.I.P.

Of your charity, pray for the repose of the soul of Elaine, who yester-day died of cancer after a long and harrowing illness.  She was the mother of Scott, an old friend of mine, and I also ask prayers for him, his siblings, and his extended family at this time of sadness.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, 

and let perpetual light shine upon her.  

May she rest in peace. 

Amen.
