Prayers for the soul of Jane Smith

The prayers of St. Stephen’s are requested for the repose of the soul of Jane Smith, mother of Bishop Michael Smith, who has died. Please also keep Bishop Smith and his family in your prayers at this time.
Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord and may Light perpetual shine upon her.
The notice from the Diocese follows:
Dear Diocesan Family,
Bishop Michael and his family received the very sad news last evening that his mother, Jane Smith of Purcell, Oklahoma has died. He and his three siblings are heading to Oklahoma this week, but will wait for a funeral service until later this summer when the extended family can gather.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, the Purcell Senior Center of the Chickasaw Nation, or the charity of your choice.
May Jane, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and rise in glory!
