ETERNAL MEMORY Services directed by Bailey's Funeral Home Yorkton The Twenty - Third Psalm 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 names'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 annointest 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 forever Service Information Friday, December 21st, 2007 10:00am, Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church Interment Details
