We had a graveside service for Pepa on Thursday March 16th, 2006. The service was about 25 minutes long. I had the priveledge to say the closing prayer. Here is a copy of it.
Dear Loving Heavenly Father,
As we conclude this service, we ask that You go with us. We thank You for the strength You’ve given us as a family during this past week.
We thank You for the kind of life that Pepa lived. A life dedicated to You and to Your service.
We celebrate now with Pepa as he is with You in Heaven. He has no more pain and no more tears.
As we continue on without him, we ask for your help. Help that only comes from You.
We each take with us fond and loving memories of Pepa. But more important, we take You with us. Something that Pepa dedicated his family to.
We ask now that each one of us will dedicate our lives to You so we may rejoice in Heaven with You our Lord and that we may see Pepa again.
In the Awesome and Wonderful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
