23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 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.
My deepest heartfelt sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses ALL understanding bring comfort to each of you now and forevermore! Treasure the memories of your love ones in your hearts now and forevermore! Continual prayers for each of you.
