The Lord’s Prayer

 

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

    So sorry for your loss. I also enjoyed listening to Arts stories of his life. May the Lord grant him peace and rest.

    So sorry to hear about Art passing. He was a good friend to Donnie and his brother Tiny. Art was pallbearer for Donnie’s brother Tiny as well as both of his parents . He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

    I know that Uncle Art will be missed. He was a wonderful caring man that I have many fond childhood memories of. Praying for his family knowing that God is the greatest comforter. Love you all.
