Happy Easter from the William F. & Roger M. DeCarbo Funeral Home Family & Staff🤍

Loving God,

On this Easter day, when we celebrate hope, renewal, and the promise of new life, we come to You with hearts that are heavy with grief. For families who are missing their loved ones, whose absence feels especially deep today, we ask for Your comfort and peace.

Wrap them in Your gentle presence. Remind them that death is not the end, but a passage into eternal life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When sorrow feels overwhelming, fill their hearts with the quiet assurance that their loved ones are held safely in Your loving care.

Lord, bring light into their darkness. Give them strength for each moment, courage for each day, and the grace to carry both their love and their loss. Help them to find comfort in cherished memories, in the support of those around them, and in the hope of being reunited one day.

May this Easter bring a small spark of peace, a reminder that even in grief, love never dies, and Your promises remain true.

We place all who mourn into Your hands, trusting in Your mercy, Your compassion, and Your everlasting love.

Amen.
