Her amazing stories of her life in Scotland will forever be in our hearts. She was truly an amazing woman. As a mother: "Mom, I miss you. You will always be greatly missed. But, you are in heaven with my dad and your family. I love you!" Psalms 23: 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. Amen
