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 name's 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 Twill dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23

When the flesh is gone, the soul is strong: We gone hold on FOREVER!
Sunday mornings to the "Grove" were just a walk across the road...I says' "we gone hold on FOREVER!"
When there are no-more footprints in the sand, where do we stand? When there are no more wise words or lessons to be heard; what do we do?..,W e hold on FOREVER!
From the garden to the kitchen and even those dreadful switches..I says' we gone hold on FOREVER!
The essence of a queen: everlasting dreams, celebrate with your king, Deothus and Pauline. We gone hold on FOREVER!
When the flesh is gone, the soul is strong. We gone hold on FOREVER!
When life's hour-glass runs dry and we just can't say goodbye, this family will hold on TO GETHER!

A fallen limb A limb has fallen from the family tree.
, God looked around his garden And found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering and
He knew you were tired He new that you would never
Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, 'Peace be thine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
