                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God of Hope, we praise You that You have vanquished the 
forces of death and given those who believe in Your resurrection power 
the assurance that this life is but a small part of eternity. We join 
with the British people in profound gratitude for the long life and 
encouraging inspiration of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Her death 
came as no conqueror in the end; she rose to meet You, her Eternal 
Friend. She bestrode the twentieth century with charm, and virtue, and 
principle, and vibrant faith in You. We will never forget her smile, 
her inclusive affirmation of each person she met, and her courage 
through the sea of trouble that engulfed a century of two world wars.
  Thank You for her wit, steeliness of character, and the way she lived 
life to the fullest, one day at a time, with unfailing trust in You. 
May the example of this loyal Scot, Queen Mum, a truly great woman 
encourage us all as we join with people everywhere in honoring the 
memory of this woman who royally expressed a common touch and a genuine 
enjoyment of life. Through the One who is the Resurrection and the 
Life, now and forever. Amen.
