Alzheimers Prayer Dear Lord, please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion, forgiveness for my irrationality and the strength to walk with me in the mist of memory my world has become. Please help them take my hand and stay awhile even though I seem unaware of their presence. Help them to know how their strength and loving care will drift slowly into the days to come just when I need it most. Let them know when I dont recognize them that I will...I will...keep their hearts free of sorrow for me... for my sorrow, when it comes, only lasts a moment. And finally God, please let them know how very much their visits mean, how even through this relentless mystery, I can feel their love. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
