Prayer for the passing

Just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers these past few days.

Grandma and I were able to spend a little time together shortly after my arrival (Thank you, God, for answering that prayer) but she has faded a great deal since then. Monday was pretty rough for her as she just couldn't get comfortable no matter what. Mom and I both read to her from the bible that day and I began reminding her that Jesus loves her and is here for her and encouraging her to pray to Jesus whenever she was uncomfortable or struggling. She agreed that was right and this was a good idea - "takes less energy to think [than speak]."

Early Tuesday morning she started reciting the Lord's prayer in her sleep and since then has started praying the Lord's prayer and Hail Mary's pretty regularly since then. Tuesday she rested lightly and calmly throughout the day. She'd wake up from time to time and to eat, but then would fade out again. She was up several hours last night, dreaming vocally and praying, and Today she's been pretty much out cold all day. She slept through breakfast completely, but has managed lunch and dinner.

The dreams and memories have been increasing and one moment she'll be completely out of it and then the next moment she'll be totally in touch with what's going on around here and then she'll be back to dreaming again. I think overall she's fairly comfortable now - less complaining than in days past - but her body is definitely shutting down.

At this point I am just praying that she be in peace and comfort and when she passes, that she goes easily and happily.

What bible verses do you find most suitable for this situation?
