TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
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 namesake. 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 annointest my head with oil.
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
The family wishes to thank their many friends for flowers, food and cards sent to them during their hours of their great loss. May God bless each of you in a special way.
