Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 
I do not give to you as the world gives. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 
John 14:27

> 
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie 
down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he 
restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his 
names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow 
of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your 
staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the 
presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup 
overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of 
my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 
The family of Willie Lee McCoy wishes to express our great 
appreciation and gratitude for the kindness and loving support 
expressed during our time of bereavement. 
Thank you.
