A FINAL TRIBUTE TO RED

“Some people leave this world, but they never leave our hearts. Your smile may no longer brighten our days, and your voice may no longer fill our ears, but the memories we hold will remain with us forever. Rest peacefully, Red. Your love will live on through every heart you touched.
”GONE FROM OUR SIGHT,
BUT NEVER FROM OUR HEARTS.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Psalm 23 
King James Version

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 the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

In loving memory
of Red
