A Celebration of Sam ’ s Life with Photographs
‘ My Way ’ - Frank Sinatra
The Final Commendation
Fr . Darien :
Trusting in God , we have prayed together for Sam and now we come to this farewell . There is sadness in parting , but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see Sam again . Although this congregation will disperse in sorrow , the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom . Therefore , let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ .
Song of Farewell
Fr . Darien : Saints of God , come to his aid !
Come to meet him , Angels of the Lord ! All : Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High .
Fr . Darien : May Christ , who called you , take you to himself ,
May Angels lead you to Abraham ’ s side . All : Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High .
Fr . Darien : Give him eternal rest , O Lord , And may your light shine upon him forever . All : Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High .
