OBITUARY 
The Lord is my shepard; 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 in the paths of 
righteous 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 anoinest 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 
forever.
