"Hello everyone, and Welcome to this "Celebration of Love" For Deacon <Insert Name Here>. We come together at this time to remember our Pastor and Founder <Insert Name here> who has left us for her heavenly home February of this year."
There's your welcome. Now fill in the rest with maybe her favorite verse and gather a couple of "testimonies" that you either read, or have "Guest Readers" read the testimonies in remembrance.
It's actually not an annual remembrance unless it is February . . . . 1 year later.
