Dear Family and Friends,

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your presence and support at the funeral of my father Gilberto Polastre. Your kindness and compassion during this difficult time have meant more to me than words can express.

The outpouring of love and support from you and everyone who attended the funeral has been a source of comfort and strength for me and my family. Your words of sympathy, hugs, and kind gestures have touched our hearts and helped us through this challenging time.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the funeral and pay your respects to my father. Your presence has made a significant difference in our lives, and we will always remember your kindness.

With sincere gratitude,

The Polastres

Gilberto who I’ve always just addressed as “Polastre” was one of my closest friends. He has left us way to soon and I am going to truly miss our talks, deer hunts together and his laugh. He was a family man and was so proud of each and every one of you. He always talked about his family and was happiest when surrounded by you all during your family gatherings. Today and always may loving memories of him bring you peace, comfort, and strength.

Prayer for Salvation

God, it is a privilege to know You, and be

Known by You! Your love changes us, and we

want our friends and family to experience

what we have. So right now, we are asking that

You would intervene in the lives of the people

Who don’t know You. Please capture their

Attention and lead them to salvation.

Make it evident that You are real, and show

Them that You want a relationship with them.

And in the process, please remove any

Skepticism or bitterness that might hold them

Back from pursuing You.

Only You can change hearts and minds, but

You ask us to partner with You by making

Disciples. So let us become shining lights that

Display You to a broken world. Wherever we

go, give us the boldness to talk about Your

sacrificial love. Allow our actions to inspire

others to draw close to You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May there be comfort in knowing friends are there and share in your sorrow.  

“And he will wipe out every tear from  their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Our deepest condolences and prayers 💐 to the Polastre Family, and friends. May Gilberto  Polastre sleep in Peace and may God comfort you in this time of grief.
