9:30-10:30 a.m.- Visitation
10:30 a.m.- Rosary

Almighty and eternal God,

You are the source of all mercy and the giver of comfort. We humbly entrust our beloved Deacon Scott Pickett into Your loving hands. Comfort those of us who mourn and fill our hearts with the hope of Your promise of eternal life.

May we find peace in Your presence and joy in Your kingdom, Where there is no more pain, sorrow or suffering.
We thank You, Lord, for the gift of his life,
For the love he shared, and the memories we cherish. Give us strength in our grief, and remind us that we will one day be reunited in Your eternal embrace. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
