Happy 92nd Birthday Daddy! I think of you often especially during this time of year....spring is here! When I hear birds see flowers blooming squirrels doing acrobatics from tree to tree branch I think of you. I know how much you loved nature I appreciate it too...I find it comforting and relaxing during these unsettling times of coronavirus pandemic and even normal stress of every day life. Well, I hope you have greeted Bubba in heaven. It was an honor to take him in after you went to heaven. I love you so much! I always will! Hope you have a great birthday! Your loving daughter, Cindy

Dear Daddy,

Jeff and I will miss you so much! You were always there for me growing up. I admire your gentle strength, kindness to neighbors and strangers, and your love for nature all my life. I am forever blessed to have that same appreciate for nature. You have given my brother a wonderful gift of caring and doing neighborly things for others.

I just want you to know that you will forever be missed and remembered.

I love you with all my heart!

Your Daughter, with love always,
Cindy

The LORD Is My Shepherd
The Psalms 23

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. Rev. 7.17
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 for ever.

The Difference
A word is spoken
And it inspires others
Who inspire others…
A helping hand is offered
To one who helps another
Who helps yet other.
A life is lived well
That touches other lives
That never stops touching
Even more lives.
The difference in a moment
Can last for all time.
