Psalm 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.

Visits with Grandma Lee started with “Hi Honey” and ended with “I love you”. She was always so glad to talk with anyone and everyone, and would hold your hand so tightly through the whole conversation. She was a bright shining light and will be remembered as such. I know you are up on that high mountain singing Paradise Valley with my dad(Steve Lee). Until we meet again, I love you!

My favorite memory of Midge is how every time I saw her, she gave me the strongest hug. The last visit we had, she gave me a hug that was just as strong as all the others.

My most recent memory of GiGi was when she heard people were coming to visit, she told Nana to get her lipstick and she put a ton on. I love GiGi.

Some of my earliest memories of Grandma are how strong she was! She was amazing to me as a little kid, seeing her pull a tub of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer, rock hard, and beating it by hand with a spoonful of peanut butter. It was crazy and super-human to me!

I loved GiGi because she was a very kind and loving woman. My favorite memory with GiGi was when we were visiting her, and it was funny when she started singing her favorite song.
