The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Anna Kaseman Hospice. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He leadeth me beside still waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me right paths for my namesake. Even though I walk in through the valley of darkness, I fear no evil for you are at my side with your rod and staff that giveth me courage. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overfloweth. Only goodness and kindness follows all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
