Barbara Moody Becker's Obituary
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and held so dear.”
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 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 days of my life:
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
