Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent some flowers,
ifso, we saw them there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say,
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought ofus that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part.

rrwenty-tnirarpsa[m
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths ofrighteousness for His names ' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley ofthe shadow ofdeath: I will fear no evil;
for thou art with me, thy rod and Thy staffthey comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence ofmine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shallfollow
me all the days ofmy life: and I will dwell in the house ofthe Lordforever.
Amen.
