CLOSING PRAYER AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICES OF TERRY R. TENOVE Would you bow your heads and join with me in prayer: Our Heavenly Father, we come to you today in sorrow. We feel sorry for ourselves, for the loved one we have lost, and sorrow for the vibrant life which has been taken from us. Yet we are also thankful. Thankful for the influence of Terry on his classmates and friends, on his team mates, on the youngsters he coached, and for his family whom he loved very much. But, Heavenly Father, I want to thank you most of all for Terry's influence on me. We pray that you will now comfort and abide with those of us who mourn today. We would also ask that you would provide Terry with that measure of Peace equivalent to the measure of joy that he gave to all of those who knew him. This we pray in your precious Name. Amen.
