To: The Edwards, Thames Family
I remember Lois as a young child when I used to visit country. God saw that she was tired so he took her back with him no suffering and no more pain. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:he that keepeth thee will not slumber.Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper:
the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day,nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalm 121
May this Psalm give you peace and comfort.
