It is written
In the Good Book
That man and beast are the same
We come from the dust
We shall return to dust
The Lord giveth
The Lord taketh away
Blessed is the Name of the Lord
Thank you Lord
for the time these people had with their pet
Rest in peace
Amen

O Lord,
Give us the strength to care for all these beloved pets.
Help us to understand, comfort and offer the right words
to the people we meet during a time of need.
Make us realize how important these pets were in someone’s life.
Help us to remember that we are all caretakers (for you), for a short time.
Bless our efforts to give nature back one of her own.
