Saying Goodbye
Psalm 55 "Oh, if I had wings of a dove, I would fly
away and be at rest."
Mourning the loss of a loved one is never easy. Perhaps the loved one would like
another way to say Goodbye.
Nothing can better capture this than the release of a White Rock Dove after
the eulogy of the final prayer.
While all eyes are turned towards the heavens, the dove perfectly represents
the spirit when upon it's release, circles once as if to say goodbye, and then journeys home.
As the spirit
begins it's pilgrimage...We begin to heal.
If you feel this release would add to your final goodbye,
please give us a call.

Words
we read at the funeral
Psalm 55 “Oh, if I had wings of a dove, I
would fly away
and be at rest.”
Today as we lay_(person's name)_to rest.
Let us remember
the PEACE/JOY (he or she) brought (him
or her) friends and
family----the LOVE/UNDERSTANDING (he or she)
gave so willingly,
& generously to all of you
and the HOLY SPIRIT that lives with in (him or her).
This bird in flight
symbolizes the end of (him or her)
life on earth and the beginning of life with the
Lord, Jesus Christ.
We soon release _(person's name)__
spirit to soon be joined by her friends and
family who
have gone before her and who have
come back to take her home to our Lord. And as our
eyes are turned
towards the heavens—these
Angeles will circle as to say her final
“Good Bye”
and start their journey home to
the Lord.
And now_(persons name)__ the
Lord will rise you up on this
doves wings.
He will bear you on the breath of dawn
He will make
you shine like the sun
For now He holds you in the palm of His
hands.
