The Lord has always been my shepherd; so, don’t worry about me. Through my death, He has restored my soul. Although I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I feared no evil, because God sent His angels to comfort me. In my heart, you’ll always be a part of me. Rejoice because I have reached that place of peace, where there is no fear.
