Mother — thank you for the gift of life and for the sacrifices you made for me. May God have mercy on your soul, and may you rest in peace. Lord, grant them eternal rest, and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
