A Prayer for Patty Loux - January 14, 1954-June 25, 2009

by Marcy Kelly ~ July 1st, 2009

A Prayer for Patty

For each one of us who had the honor of knowing Patty.

That we will be blessed with a much deeper trust in our Lord,

that we lead lives dedicated to family and loved ones,

that we use our gifts and talents to truly make a difference in our broken world,

that we never miss the opportunity to march in a parade,

enjoy a delicious slice of cake,

notice a butterfly,

look for the silver lining in the clouds,

and may we continue on our earthly journey with great enthusiasm, hope

& happiness knowing one day we will be gathered together again in

God’s kingdom.
