Jewish Memorial Prayer

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember her.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember her.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember her.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember her.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember her.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember her.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember her.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember her.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember her.
So long as we live, she too shall live,
for she is now a part of us, as
we remember her.

This lovely prayer, suggested by Bruce Coriell, opened Whitney's memorial service on March 20 in Shove Chapel at Colorado College.
