When GOD created YOU, DEAREST BILLY, It sent a great joy through HEAVEN that made the CHOIRS sing, And OH what CELESTIAL MUSIC to honor your return to OUR GOD, OUR SAVIOR, OUR KING!! Even though nothing can fully erase the pain and sadness of being apart, What a comfort to ease the pain in our heart, That we can always rely upon the CARE and PROTECTION of the GOOD SHEPHERD!!The Twenty-Third PsalmThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want In verdant pastures he give me repose; Beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side With your rod and your staff that give me courage. You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.It broke our hearts to lose you, DEAR SON AND BROTHER, but you did not go alone, A part of all of us went with you, The day GOD called you home.
