Celtic Song of Farewell.
May the choirs of angels lead you into Paradise, and may the martyrs come to welcome you to bring you home into the holy city, so you may dwell in new Jerusalem. May holy angels be there at your welcoming, with all the saints who go before you there, that you may know the peace and joy of paradise, that you may enter into everlasting rest.
Marie and I were friends for years primarily through the Art Guild. I am sorry that I was unable to say goodby to Marie since I was not aware of her death until I read it in the Advisor. We spent many painterly days together along with June Wilson. May the Lord bless you, Marie, and keep you.
