A Prayer for a Fellow Legionnaire of Post 626
Father we entrust our brother Legionnaire Richard M. Parrish US Army Veteran to your mercy.
You loved him greatly in this life; now that he is freed from all his cares,
Give him happiness and peace forever
Eternal rest grant him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
