It is my privilege to convey to the family the condolences of Saint John's Episcopal Church. Harold was a member here, and he is remembered as a quiet, gracious, steady presence at Saint John’s. His death has been met with a sweet sense of poignancy at our parish.
We have a lovely prayer for such departures: "Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant, Harold. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen."
In Christ,
The Rev. Judith Malionek
Rector, Saint John's Episcopal Church
