For Deb

Sad news: my wife's step-sister, Deb, passed away unexpectedly. I only met her on a few occasions; I will remember her as a great person with an infectious laugh. I said the following prayer for her today at mass:

Corus Angelorum te suscepiat,
Et cum Lazaro quodam paupera,
Aeternam habeas requiem

May choirs of angels accept you,
And with Lazarus, once a pauper,
May you have eternal rest

From the Requiem Mass for the Departed (Missa Pro Defuncta)

Since Deb was Jewish:

Hinei mah tov umah na’im
shevet achim gam yachad

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity

From Psalm 133
