The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths 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 You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalms 23:1‭-‬4 NKJV My deepest heartfelt sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses ALL understanding bring comfort to ALL now and forever. Treasure the memories of your Love Ones in your Hearts ❤️ forever. Continual prayers 🙏 for ALL. R.I.H with JESUS, Stephanie. Missed, but NEVER Forgotten!
