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 o f 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 o f mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy Shall follow me all the days o f my life: And I will dwell In the House o f the Lord forever. (KJV)
The family of Dave Mack, Jr. wishes to express sincere gratitude and thanks for the great acts of kindness and gestures of love and support extended to us during our time of bereavement.
