Obituary For Willie A. "Sonny" Badger, Sr.

~OBITUARY~

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadth 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 thou are with me; they rod and they 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 forever.
