Elizabeth Brooks, mother of
Reverend Tom Brooks, Rector of All
Saints Church in Pensacola, Florida, and
Chancellor of the Anglican Episcopal
Church. Mrs. Brooks passed away the morning of 6 July 2012 at after a long
illness at 0130 EDT in Rochester,
New York. Thankfully, her son Tom was in
attendance for her final illness
and at the time of her passing. She was born
on 6 January 1920, and so was
92 ½ years old.
Please pray for the repose
of her soul, now safely in the arms of our Lord,
and for the strength and
consolation of Tom and her other children.

I
|
WILL lift up mine eyes
unto the hills; * from whence cometh my help?
My help cometh even from
the Lord, * who hath made heaven and
earth.
He will not suffer thy
foot to be moved; * and he that keepeth thee
will not
sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth
Israel * shall neither slumber nor
sleep.
The Lord himself is thy
keeper; * the Lord is thy defence upon thy
right
hand;
So that the sun shall not
burn thee by day, * neither the moon by
night.
The Lord shall preserve
thee from all evil; * yea, it is even he that
shall keep thy
soul.
The Lord shall preserve
thy going out, and thy coming in, * from this
time forth for evermore.

O
|
GOD, whose mercies
cannot be numbered; Accept our prayers on behalf of the
soul of thy servant
ELIZABETH departed, and grant her an entrance into the
land of light and joy,
in the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

LMIGHTY God, Father of mercies and giver of all comfort; Deal
graciously,
we pray thee, with all those who mourn, that, casting every care
on thee,
they may know the consolation of thy love; through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Amen.
