I am so sorry to hear this. My father died in April, so I can imagine how you are feeling. I'll be thinking of you.

This is an adaptation of the Song of Simeon, found in the Episcopal services of Evening Prayer and Compline. A friend shared it with me, and I send it to you, your mother and sister, and all who loved and cared for your dad.

Gracious God, let your child depart in peace,
for his eyes have seen his Saviour,
whom you have prepared for all the world to see.
A light to enlighten the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.

Guide us waking, O God,
and guard us sleeping,
that awake we may watch with Christ
and asleep we may rest in peace....

I will pray for your comfort in these difficult present hours, Royce, and that acceptance and the healing of your grief will come to you, in their time, as well.

You are loved, dear friend.
