Father
Bless the family of Peter & Mary Gurto
as we gather together for our 28th family reunion.
Let us remember all of our family members who are not
with us today-
those who are with you
and those who were not able to travel to this reunion.
We thank you for this opportunity to be together,
to share our heritage with our children,
to laugh and
to make memories as a family.
Bless the food that we are to partake and grant unto this family
good health and happiness in the next year.
Amen
