23rd Psalm – The Lord is my shepherd (KJV)
Psalm 23:1-6
1. 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. 5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord tor ever.
Our deepest heartfelt sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses ALL understanding bring comfort to each of you not only now, but forever. Treasure the memories of your Love Ones in your Hearts forevermore. Continual prayers for All.
I already miss you, my lovely Client and Friend for many many years. Praying for the family.
To my dear sisters , Sharon Angela and Michelle, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes remembering us all as little girls. Watching you grow up in a house full of loved and laughter l could not wait to come over and Knorvel was always there to welcome you with her warm smile. No matter how loud we got she never scolded us. When Angela had LB she was overjoyed he was light of her life. The world has truly lost a beautiful spirit and now her light shines in heaven. Thank you for sharing your Mom with me all these years. I love you all. May God give you strength in the days to come and feel your heart’s with peace.
My Deepest Condolences To you Sharon and Family, May God Comfort you at these Difficult moments to come.
Dear Sharon,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom passing. Just know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
