I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. 
We, the family, are deeply grateful to our friends and relatives 
bereavement. It is through your strength and the grace of God 
that we have found comfort. May God enfold you in His arms 
and bless each of you with His love.
