Rite of Commendation Closing Song: Amazing Grace -John Newton Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed! The Lord hath promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise then when we first begun The Nardiello family would like to thank the McVeigh Funeral home, Rev. Daniel Quinn and the parish community of Blessed Sacrament, and all those present with us today for Mom's Liturgy of Christian Death and Burial.
