We love you so much Mom, Well miss you dearly Baba THE 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 names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley Of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; They 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. Cropo Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements 586-8044.
