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 name's sake. Yea, though I 
walk through the valley of the shadow ofdeath, I willfear no evil; For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, Thou prepareth 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.

To My J-fus6antf, My Motlier, My :fami{y 
Don't cry for me, for God knows best. He's taken me home so I could rest. All my pain, suffering and tears. You know that I was sick for so many years, but I found my Lord Jesus and I was saved by His 
grace. My husband you meant the world to me, You came into my life and brought me happiness. I said that I would love you until the 
day I die. God knows best. Please don't cry. I love you Michael. Mother, (Velma) when I was so sick you were there for me, rendering your love and your support and doing your best. Thank You for coming back into my life. I will always love you, Mother and I will forever keep you in rny heart To all my family who was there for me, I love you all so much. One day we will see each other again in a better place 
where there is no pain, no tears, no sorrows, no suffering, no end. Thank You to all of you!! Love, Mary
