Family Prayer: Richard L. Finlinson, Father

Family Prayer: Richard L. Finlinson, Father
Our Father in Heaven, we meet here together as a family to honor Karen Finlinson Savage, her life and the things she has contributed to all of us and those she has come to know. We are grateful that she was accepted into the spirit world, that she has been relieved of many of the problems and concerns that have beset her throughout her life. We are grateful that she has left a wonderful legacy here with both friendships and with her family. She has been diligent in teaching her boys who, in our estimation, have been great blessings to her, for she was advised not to have children. We are grateful that Thou hast given her this privilege. We are grateful for her husband Eric and all he has taken upon himself as a burden to help her throughout her time with him. We know that he has been greatly blessed, and all of us have been blessed to assist her and help her through her time in this life. We are so thankful that she is relieved of the burdens that she has had here and know that she was welcomed by those on the other side who are taking her into their care and keeping, helping her to enjoy the future of her life that she has so valiantly earned. We pray that we here will benefit from her life and from the example she has set. She has been accurate in living the commandments and has done those things that are important to her eternal salvation. We ask Thee to bless her boys that they will be sustained by all of us and helped to continue their lives in the wonderful manner they have done to this point. They are outstanding young men and have much ahead of them to accomplish. We look forward to seeing them develop and grow into manhood. We again thank Thee for Karen’s life with us, for our ability to help her on occasions when she has needed it, for her pleasant and positive attitude she has had in enduring those things placed upon her. Her life has been a joyous life and we thank Thee for this, and say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
