July 3, 2020: At the celebration of the wonderful life of Tommy Dent at Pritt's Funeral Home.
The chapel is as full as the COVID-19 guidelines will allow.
Strawbridge United Methodist Church Pastor Ross graciously gave me an opportunity to say a prayer.
It is wonderful gathering of friends, family, and community leaders.
I shared with the folks a prayer. Please take this opportunity to join me in a prayer for my friend.
Tommy was a wonderful friend, a great leader and lived a life of grace. Tommy got it honest. His parents were wonderful and kind people. Tommy was extremely talented. He worked hard at his small business. Westminster is a much better place because of Tommy. He will be greatly missed.
Let us bow our heads and join in a short prayer.
O god of grace and glory, we remember before you today our brother Tommy Dent. We thank you for giving him to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family at this very difficult time.
Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.
May memories of happy times sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love embrace you and your family and bring you peace.
Rest in paradise my friend. See you again someday. God be merciful to your good soul.
Thinking of you as you find peace during your journey and sending strength to your family as they mourn. I pray that peace will be found for all.
No words can express how much this hurts.
Amen
