"A man is not completely born untilhe be dead. Why then should we
grieve that a new child is bornamong the immortals, a newmember added to their happy
society?
“On Death”
Benjamin Franklin

“We are spirits. That bodies shouldbe lent to us, while they can afford us
pleasure, assist us in acquiringknowledge, or in doing good to our
fellow creatures, is a kind andbenevolent act of God.”
The Last Chapter 8 Jul 08The Last Chapter 8 Jul 08
”When they become unfit for thesepurposes and afford us pain instead ofpleasure, instead of an aid become anencumbrance, and answer none of the
intentions for which they were given, it isequally kind and benevolent that a way is
provided by which we may get rid ofthem. Death is that way.”
The Last Chapter 8 Jul 08The Last Chapter 8 Jul 08
”Our friend and we were invited abroad ona party of pleasure which is to last
forever. His chair was ready first and he isgone before us. We could all not
conveniently start together; and why shouldyou and I be grieved at this, since we are
soon to follow and know where to find him?"
Ben Franklin on his brother John's death 1756
““The Prayer”, Recorded by Rose and AngelaThe Prayer”, Recorded by Rose and AngelaChristian and Played at the end of the ServiceChristian and Played at the end of the Service
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don't knowLet this be our prayer, when we lose our wayLead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safeI pray we'll find your light, and hold it in our hearts
When stars come out each night,The dark will be aglow.
Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our dayLead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.To know a world no longer filled with sorrowA world where children dream of tomorrow
A world of hope and love for one anotherReaching for our brother for eternity.
We ask that life be kind, and watch us from aboveWe hope each soul will find another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every childLead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safeLead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
