The knowledge, stability, and repair that she persistently embodied, usually in circumstances of utmost issue, are a shining legacy and testimony to her religion. Our prayer is that she is now acquired into the merciful presence of God, there to be reunited along with her beloved Prince Philip. That is the promise of our religion and our deep comfort.
