Obituary
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his
delight is in the law of the Loi; and in his law doth he meditate day and
night. and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For
the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall
perish." 1st Psalm
