May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Prayers for you and your family and your grandfather.
Deepest sympathy, dear Brother, on the death of your beloved grandfather. I'm sure he was very proud to see you make your Final Vows. May his prayers sustain you on any difficult day. I have prayed the "Hail Mary" for him on this beautiful Feast, on the vigil of which, God called him Home! And yesterday, by the Grace of God, I prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the Dying.
Prayers to Our Blessed Mother for the rest of his soul and to console the hearts of the bereaved.
