Missing You
Vern, I am writing this little note to let you know
how much I am going to miss you. Sunday morning I was
sitting on the side of my bed thinking of how much 1 am
going to miss you. When 1 talked to you on Friday, I did
not know that 1 was talking to you for the last time. 1 am
going to miss our phone calls and how I made you laugh.
You laughed so hard and loud until 1 would say, girl you
better stop laughing so hard and loud, people will think
that you are crazy! I am going to miss all the times we
spent together on our fishing trips, Bible study, and the
wonderful times at prayer meetings. You know how much
I love you and Mink, 1 am so sad now, but 1 know God
will give me joy.
Love You with all my heart,
Avid this hns bttvi a precious 0lft
That's seerv. rue throu0h thlcte avid thlrv.

Final Glance
Recessional
Psalms 23
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 path 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 I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
