For the repose of the soul of Vernon Forde: Pray that he now enjoys the rewards of Paradise as promised by our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ and let us pray for Erlene, Sean and the entire family that all are blessed with strength, peace and a renewed faith. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
