Psalm 121
I will lift up my eyes to the hills- from whence come my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper: The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve you from all evi/,' He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
CWords of ~ppreciation
Today, we have been strengthened by God and your kindness to our family through prayers, telephone calls, visits, cards of condolences, floral tributes and many other expressions of love. We thank God for the gift of our son and sincerely pray that "He" will forever bless
