Let the glory of God be extolled, let God’s  great  Name  be  hallowed,  in  all   creation.

May the reign of God soon prevail in our own day, our own lives, and the life of all Israel, and let us say: Amen.

Let  God’s  great  Name  be  blessed  forever  and  ever .

Let the name of the Holy One, blessed is God, be glorified, exalted, and honored, though God is beyond all the praises, songs, and adorations that we can utter, and let us say: Amen.

For us and for all Israel, may the blessing of peace and the promise of life come true, and let us say: Amen.

May God who causes peace to reign in the high heavens, let peace descend on us, on all Israel, and all the world, and let us say: Amen.

May they rest in peace and may their memory ever be for a blessing. At this moment, I pause for thought in memory of my beloved _____________

I give thanks for the blessing of life, of companionship and of memory.

I am grateful for the strength and faith that sustained me in the hour of my bereavement.

Though sorrow lingers, I have learned that love is stronger than death. Though my loved one is beyond my sight, I do not despair for I sense my beloved in my heart as a living presence.

Sustained by words of faith, comforted by precious memories, we kindle this light in remembrance.
