JUDITH ELAINE EVANS Eternal God, Our life is a fleeting shadow that does not endure. Our years pass quickly, Our days are few and full of trouble. We thank you that Judith no longer has to suffer pain or fear, grappling with death, fighting for life; and that for her limitations are ended, weakness is overcome, and death itself is conquered. As she passes from our earthly sight, we thank you for the years of her presence among us. And while we feel the pain of the parting, we rejoice in the faith that she has gone to be with you, for in your presence is the fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures for evermore. Bless those who had the care of her, especially doctors, nurses and technicians. Guide and prosper all who are engaged in medical research: may they never lose heart in their search to discover the way of health and healing. Grant that by their vision and courage we may advance in our understanding of the world and be better able to help those in need. Amen.
