For Mom

Alberta Webb Gatling

3 May 1937 - 25 January 1995

O Master, Lord our God, Who in Your wisdom has created man, and did honor him with Your Divine image, and placed in him the spirit of life, and lead him into this world, bestowing on him the hope of resurrection and life everlasting; and after he had violated Thy commandments, You O Gracious lover of mankind, did descend to the earth that You might renew again the creation of Your hands. Therefore we pray You, O All-Holy Master give rest to the souls of Your servant, Alberta, in a place of brightness, a place of verdure, a place of repose, and, in that she has sinned in word, or deed or thought forgive her: For You are a good God and love mankind and unto You do we ascribe Glory, together with Your Father, Who is from everlasting and Your All-Holy and good, and life giving Spirit, now, and ever, and unto ages of ages.

Amen.
