 Although your smile is gone, And your hands we cannot touch, We thank God for Precious memories 
Of one we loved so much. It broke our hearts to lose you, 
But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you Thursday when God called you home. Keep on, dear one, and take your rest, We loved you, but God loved you best! 
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 
of righteousness for His names sake. 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 
shadow of death, I will fear no evil 
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff 
they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence 
of mine enemies: Thou anointest my 
head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy 
shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
