Past Department Commanders in Memoriam

Eternal God, let Your mercy rest upon us as we, with grateful affection, remember our Comrades, who have departed this life. We thank You for their days upon earth and the joy that they brought. May our remembrance of them live long among us and be to us a source of guidance and strength. Give to those who miss them most deep wells of consolation from which to draw comfort, and enable us to be Your ministers of mercy to them in their time of need. Amen.
