God,
Today many churches remember the faithful who have gone home, and I keep thinking of my mother. Her Bible is still on my shelf, underlined in her careful pen. Thank You for her faith that held when mine was small. Comfort me where she used to sit, and help me live in a way she would know.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses for comfort in grief
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
