Giving thanks for @Rossweisse’s life. So glad she got to vote and see the result she wanted. Thank you @Lamb Chopped for all you've done. Prayers for all who loved her both in real life and on the ship.
the heavenly choir has now got even better!! I look forward to hearing it.
Prayers for all who loved her - the FMTTS included. They will surely miss her.
O God,
before whom generations rise and pass away,
we praise you for all your servants
who, having lived this life in faith,
now live eternally with you.
Especially we thank you for your servant Rossweisse,
whose baptism is now complete in death.
We praise you for the gift of her life,
for all in her that was good and kind and faithful,
for the grace you gave her,
that kindled in her the love of your dear name,
and enabled her to serve you faithfully.
We thank you that for her death is past and pain ended,
and that she has now entered the joy you have prepared;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Meeting Rossweisse at last in the latest incarnation of the Church of Fools was a privilege and a pleasure. We know God loves us because he sends us people like Rossweisse whose company we may enjoy, and whom we may hope to see again when we are at last united with him and all his angels and saints.
Praying for all who knew her, loved her and will miss her.
Praying for all still suffering and not sure where the road is taking them.
Sorrow and love.
However, I have to point out that there is now a dedicated thread in All Saints for our departed sister, a thread which will be promoted to Glory in due course, so we can re-read and remember.
While it's right and proper there are tributes here, it's probably better that we convene there.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Yes. Thank you for putting it better than I could, BF.

My son is home recovering from a hard time with COVID at university!--no longer infectious--and he is being very kind.

@Lamb Chopped thank you so much for updating us all these past days. I hope that all will be well with you and yours.
Special prayers for you Lamb Chopped and for the others who have ministered to her.

Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest,
Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.
And may all who mourn be comforted.
"Fear not" - as is repeated hundreds of times
And from us also.
