TWENTY-THIRD PSALM 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 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 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 forever. A Special Brother The day you left and gained your wings my heart just broke in two I wish you could have stayed with me But Heaven needed you You left me with the memories And I love you dearly still No matter how much time goes by You know I always will You were a very special person With kindness in your heart And the love we had together Grows stronger now we’re apart I know I cannot bring you back Although I wish it everyday But a piece of me went with you The day you went away Acknowledgements The family wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love, concern and kindness shown to them during this hour of bereavement.
