Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where this is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek to be
Consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The family wishes to extend special thanks to Kansas City Hospice, especially Ann, Jean, Pam and Marcus.
No other Mother can compare, our hearts are broken and we will miss you dearly, but we will see you again one day. We love you Mom, Mike, Shawn and Kerry.
