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.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have worked with Ellen for 20 years and she always made my job easier. She took such pride in doing her job perfectly and being friendly and helpful at all times. AGP will never be the same without her. She was amazing! Thank you for sharing her with us for these years. May God bless you all and help you through your grief.
